Xello has been a game-changer for our high school advisory classes. Specifically with my sophomores, I am able to have them look are possible career paths in which they can then figure out what sort of post-high school education is necessary. We have also been having them do test-prep as they prepare for taking the ACT next school year as Juniors. It's such a great tool for them to practice questions and get a feel for what the ACT will be like, but also gives me an opportunity to work through how to prepare them for the ACT and other tests in general.
