hallpass
LiveNYSED-aligned GED preparation that actually meets students where they are.
Above: the live hallpass app, embedded in real time. Best experienced directly — open hallpass in a new tab.
The problem
The GED is rigorous. The path to it shouldn't be exhausting.
Adult learners preparing for the GED juggle work, family, and the test all at once. Existing prep materials are either overwhelming textbooks designed for the classroom, or one-size-fits-all apps that don't track the New York State Education Department's exam blueprint. Most learners give up before they're ready — not because the content is too hard, but because the prep is.
The approach
Mobile-first. NYSED-aligned. Built for the gaps in a busy life.
hallpass meets learners on the device they already have, with short, targeted skill drills mapped to the actual NYSED exam blueprint. Sessions can be five minutes long. Practice adapts to what each learner is missing. Confidence builds from the first correct answer, not the final score.
Inside hallpass
Built for the actual exam — and the actual learner.
NYSED-aligned blueprint
Every drill maps to a domain in the New York State Education Department's GED skill framework — no guesswork about what to study.
Five-minute sessions
Designed for the cracks in a busy life — bus rides, lunch breaks, the quiet moment after the kids fall asleep. Real prep, real fast.
Adaptive practice
The app pays attention to where each learner stumbles, and quietly reweights toward those skills until they click.
No noise
No ads. No social pressure. No streaks designed to manipulate. Just the test, the prep, and a learner moving forward.
Why it leads the family
hallpass is the first of many. It also sets the standard.
Every Borg subsidiary will look different on the surface — a parking app, an academic SaaS, a dashboard for institutions. But the underlying commitments stay the same: real users, real problems, real respect for attention. hallpass is the working proof of that.
