Request a QuotePassing the GED, or an equivalent test, can be a crucial element for career and college readiness. It is essential that students preparing to take any high school equivalency exam have a strong foundation of knowledge in literacy, mathematics, social studies, and science, the four core areas tested by the GED, HiSET, and TASC.
In response to the increased rigor of the 2014 GED Exam, Acellus provides schools and Educational Centers with a four course series designed to help prepare students to pass the updated GED exam. The Acellus High School Equivalency Exam Prep series covers mathematics, literature and writing, social studies, and science. These courses are also used to prepare for the HiSET and TASC.
Acellus coursework can be done independently and on a flexible timetable, allowing those who are on busy and restrictive schedules to still complete their coursework. Acellus courses are taught by master teachers. Each video lesson covers a single concept and is built into an adaptive and interactive interface. Students are continually assessed, and when knowledge gaps are identified, Acellus immediately provides additional targeted video instruction to fill in those holes. Students are able to easily move past the areas that they have mastered, only spending extra time on the concepts that they struggle with.

Whether a student is working at school or at home, local teachers receive immediate reports on student progress via the Live Class Monitor. The live monitor provides real-time data to alert teachers when students are struggling. Teachers can see the concept the student is working on, each answer inputted, and the intervention Acellus is providing to that student. Students can reach out to a teacher with questions at any time via the Messaging system. Acellus will also send a message to the local teacher when a student fails an exam or extra assistance is suggested.
Grading is done automatically by Acellus, and logged in the online Acellus Gradebook. The Gradebook also records every action done by students, including time logged in, total time spent, each answer inputted by the student, and overall grade on each lesson, unit, mid-term, and final exam.
