Are you preparing for an algebra course or in need of an algebra refresher?

Whether you’re brand new to algebra or want to brush up on your skills, EdReady can help you.

WITH EDREADY, YOU CAN . . .

• Take a low-stakes quiz to see what you know today, and what you may need to brush up on or learn for the first time. It’s okay if you don’t know the answer to a question. Simply skip it, and EdReady will make sure that topic is added to your customized study path.
• Work through your personal study path at a pace that fits your schedule. EdReady will give you immediate feedback about your progress, and you’ll have access to a library of online learning resources that will help you gain a deeper understanding of the algebra concepts you’re trying to master.
• Aim to hit or exceed the set target score for this goal. If you achieve the target score, you should be ready to take on entry-level algebra coursework. If you exceed the target score, you’re likely to do well in a first-year algebra class.

WHAT THIS TOOL CAN DO FOR YOU

• If you put in the time and learn the material provided, EdReady can help you learn algebra.
• If you hit any roadblocks or want extra, just-in-time support, take advantage of UPchieve live, virtual, and anonymous math tutoring, available 24/7.

WHAT THIS TOOL CAN’T DO FOR YOU

• Sometimes the hardest part of achieving a goal is showing up consistently. If you don’t use EdReady regularly, it can’t help you. Plan to spend at least 30 minutes a session until you get a sense of how much time you need to budget to meet your goal in the timeframe you choose.

Are you hoping to attend a community or technical college?

Whether you’re in high school or a recent graduate, or you’re considering returning to school, EdReady will show you the math and English concepts you know today, and help you master the topics you’ll need to understand to be prepared for the school(s) of your choice.

If you know that you’ll have to take the Accuplacer® test (for math or English), choose one or both of those study paths. If you’re not sure what math placement test you have to take, you may want to choose the study path that will prepare you for any math placement exam. It may take longer to reach the target score in the less precise study path for math placement, but you’ll find that the extra math mastery you acquire will pay off once you start taking college classes.

Are you preparing for the GED® examination or TABE® examination?

The GED® and TABE® examinations are used to assess an adult learner’s knowledge relative to a high-school degree or preparing for a career. For many adult learners, passing the GED® or the TABE® examination is the first step toward qualifying for a better job or preparing for higher education.

GED Preparation

The GED® math test is composed of five different levels, plus an additional level for students who are planning to pursue higher-education degrees or certificates in science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM) subjects. The five levels are labeled alphabetically (A-E), where Level A covers expectations for math skills that are typically learned in grades K-1, Level B focuses on grades 2-3, Level C focuses on grades 4-6, Level D focuses on grades 6-8, and Level E focuses on high-school grades (9-12).

EdReady is targeted to students who have middle-school (i.e., through grade 8) math competencies at a minimum. If you don’t understand middle-school math, you can still use EdReady, but you may find it difficult to master certain topics. That’s why we’ve divided the GED Math Prep study paths into two parts: GED Prep K-8 and GED Prep 9-12. The first study path covers all of the content expectations up to and through grade 8 (equivalent to levels A-D). You should achieve the first study path target score before you attempt the second study path, which covers all of the high-school-level content expectations (level E).

The GED® exam itself is administered online and has a portion that allows the use of a calculator and a portion where calculators are disallowed. There are also a number of question types in the new GED® Math Exam that are not utilized by the EdReady platform. As with all EdReady goals, successfully reaching the target score in EdReady does not guarantee that you’ll pass an external exam (like the GED®), but it’s a good indication that you possess the required knowledge to be successful. Be sure to practice the GED® Exam under examination-like conditions and practice answering the types of questions you are likely to see on the actual test.

The GED® Exam is produced and administered by the GED® Testing Service. EdReady is not endorsed by nor otherwise affiliated with the GED® Testing Service.

TABE® Preparation

There are several different TABE® Tests available. The TABE® preparation pathways in EdReady are aligned to the expectations of the TABE® 9&10 Tests, which are often used to prepare adults for high-school equivalency or for career-training pathways.

The TABE® 9&10 Test is divided into several levels of difficulty, differing by discipline. In EdReady, there are three different TABE®-aligned assessments for math: TABE Prep: Easy/Medium, TABE Prep: Difficult, and TABE: Advanced. You should take these assessments in the order of their difficulty. There’s some overlap from one test to the next, so you’ll have a chance to review and refresh your knowledge as you move along.

TABE® Tests can be taken on paper or on a computer (online or in a testing center). You will need to learn about your local options to decide which format to take, but be sure to practice taking the test in that format before you sit for the real examination. EdReady will give you some assurance that you understand the material, but the question types and testing format of the TABE® Test will be different from what you see in EdReady.

TABE® Exams are produced and administered by CTB/McGraw-Hill Education. EdReady is not endorsed by nor otherwise affiliated with CTB/McGraw-Hill.

Are you hoping to attend a school that requires you to complete an exam like the SAT® or ACT® before applying?

These exams are used by many schools as part of their admissions process. While you don’t need to have mastered everything in order to get in, it is helpful to get as high a score as possible. The study paths you see here can prepare you for these exams, assuming you put in the time and effort to learn the material you do not already know. We have set the target score very high in each case to encourage you to keep studying and to improve your mastery as much as possible.

Don’t let exams like the SAT® and ACT® stand in your way! EdReady can help you to identify the gaps in your knowledge and prepare you to do your best on these types of tests.
