Cansego CAEC Prep Review

Last year, after I had learned that the GED test was replaced with a new Canadian high school equivalency exam, I decided to prepare with the CAEC prep course developed by Cansego. This program was specifically designed to help Canadian students pass the CAEC assessment efficiently. The CAEC (Canadian Adult Education Credential) was introduced across … Read more

Onsego created a new GED Calculator course

Steve Gory is the founder of Onsego, and he’s also an education strategist. In this post, Steve talks about why Onsego has created a new course that works with the TS-30XS GED Scientific Calculator.

With the help of this new course, students learn how to pass the GED® Math subtest without even learning math. With this course, rather than learning Math, they are taught how to use the scientific GED calculator effectively to attain a passing score on the GED Math subject test.

Steve explains: “About a year ago, my sister asked me if I could help one of her friends with preparing for the Math portion of the GED test. My sister has a job in the entertainment industry, and many of her “friends” are artists.

When I first met my sister’s friend, that appeared to be true. Her “friend” was actually an up-and-coming singer-songwriter who was looking to earn her GED diploma.

She was called Nina, and she had already passed three out of the four GED subtests. On the Math test, however, she couldn’t get a passing score though she had already tried four times. I gave Nina access to Onsego’s GED prep course, and over the next months, we had several Zoom meetings.

Onsego vs Kaplan GED Rapid Review

Onsego GED Prep is a great alternative to the GED Rapid course from Kaplan.

There is a big difference in price between these two courses, so I want to review the Onsego GED course and Kaplan’s GED Rapid course.

First, the price:

  • Onsego Advantage Plus costs $129 for 12 months, and you can access all four GED® subjects.
  • Kaplan’s GED Rapid costs $129 per 3 months, and you also have access to all four subjects.
  • Onsego Advantage costs $99 for 6 months, and the Advantage Pro Score Booster Plan (including unlimited tutor support) costs $199 for 12 months.
  • Onsego’s one GED-subject courses are $49 each.

The teaching method is totally different.

  • Onsego divides each subject into short, up to 5 minutes video lessons. There are a lot of these videos. For example, the Onsego math course has 124 lessons.
  • Every video is related to just one concept. Under the video, there is a transcript of the lesson in text form and a few questions in the form of quizzes.
  • After every part, such as Number Sense, there is also a longer practice test, and at the end of the course, there are final practice tests ( a lot of them) and tips for passing the GED exam fast and efficiently.
