The goal is the credential, not a good day on one test. A GED® credential requires a passing score on each of four subject tests: Reasoning Through Language Arts, Mathematical Reasoning, Science, and Social Studies. The common passing score is 145 on each. A HiSET® credential is five subtests: Reading, Writing, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. States set the combined bar. A common rule has been 8 on each subtest, 45 overall, and 2 on the essay. One pass does not fini

A guided note is a page with the structure already on it and blanks where the student writes the step, the term, or the evidence. It is not a filled handout, and it is not a blank notebook. The student still writes. The page holds the order. No published trial tests guided notes in a GED© and HiSET© class. The closest evidence is from college and other adult classes. Larwin and Larwin (2013) pooled postsecondary studies covering 1,529 students. Guided notes had a moderate eff

Three Reads is a short routine for a math word problem. The student reads the same item three times, each time for one job. It was built for language-heavy math, and it fits adult basic-skills classes because those classes fail on the reading of the problem as often as on the arithmetic. What the routine is Jeff Zwiers and colleagues at Stanford’s Understanding Language project published Three Reads in 2017 as Mathematical Language Routine 6. The student does not solve on the
