HiSET Test Prep Science B (Physical Science)
Open
HiSET® Tutorials are designed based off of the HiSET® Information Brief which includes the High School College and Career Readiness Statements to provide students a more successful and less stressful preparation effort as they work to demonstrate their college readiness on the HiSET® test.
In each module, the Learn It and Try It make complex ideas accessible to students through focused content, guided analysis, and practice with personalized feedback so students are empowered to increase their Exam Readiness. The Review It offers an engaging and high impact video summary of key concepts and important to grasp connections. The Test It assesses students’ mastery of the module’s concepts, providing granular performance data to students and teachers, linking a student’s performance to ACT key idea details and score ranges. To help students focus on the content most relevant to them, unit-level pretests and posttests can quickly identify where students are ready for test day and where they need to continue their review and practice.
This Tutorial is aligned with HiSET® Information Brief and High School College and Career Readiness Statements for Science test sections.
