Coverage of GED® High Impact Indicators in our GED® Test Prep Resources

Each GED^® Test prep tutorial has been evaluated and officially certified by the GED Testing Service^® as fully content aligned to the official GED^® Test. That means that not only are the skills identified in the high impact indicators covered in the tutorials, so are all of the other GED^® indicators. The coverage chart below details each high impact indicator and where it is covered in our GED^® tutorials and GED^® Practice Tests.

How content aligns to the latest NRS Educational Functioning Levels

Many of the resources in the GED® Test Prep Center, Grades 4–8 Educator Resources Center, and the High School Students Center were developed and leveled to directly align to the CCSS, and the CCR Standards are the basis for the latest National Reporting System (NRS) Function Level Descriptors, so those resources can be very useful in adult education centers.

Alignment maps correlate the relevant reading, writing, and math practice sets, tutorials, and microlessons in LearningExpress Library to the EFLs.

Self-paced GED® Preparation program

The TABE 11/12 practice tests in the GED® Test Prep Center can be used to recommend a preparation path for users based on their performance. If a user scores poorly in a particular topic, the TABE practice tests (called Skills Checks) recommend a targeted “pre-GED” level practice set in the “Build Your Basic Skills” category. The user, based on performance, is guided through the three different topic levels until hopefully, their skills are strong enough to begin preparing for the GED® with our practice tests, tutorials, and eBooks. Each step of the program is detailed in the attached document.

LearningExpress is currently in the process of reviewing their entire ebook library, to ensure that resources are current and accurate. The goal over the next year is to get the majority of ebooks updated by the LearningExpress review team. Once the project is complete, and the entire ebook catalog has been eviewed, LearningExpress team will curate and maintain the ebook library as follows:

• For titles aligned with standardized tests and career certification and licensing exams, they will be updated whenever the specs for the official exams are revised, and will be updated at a minimum of every 3 years to ensure currency and accuracy.

• For academic/vocational skill-building titles, such as the 20 Minutes a Day series, they will be reviewed for pedagogical and reference accuracy and currency at a minimum of every 5 years.
