The present invention is directed to a method and system for
individualizing preparation for a high school equivalency test. The
method and system comprise obtaining from the individual an initial
skills assessment in one or more subject areas of the high school
equivalency test. The initial skills assessment provides a raw score in
one of the subject areas. The method and system further comprise
determining an Alpha score for the respective subject area based on the
initial skills assessment. The Alpha score is a difference between a
passing score for the high school equivalency test and the raw score from
the initial skills assessment in the same subject area.
