Brainfuse HelpNow is an all-in-one suite of tutoring services designed for a wide range of academic needs—whether it’s tackling a tough homework problem, mastering a particular topic, or writing a paper. The Brainfuse full-service test center offers practice tests for all levels in math, reading, and writing as well as college preparatory tests, including the SAT.

 

Getting Started

  1. You can use many of the tutoring resources without creating a Brainfuse account, but if you want to save anything or work with a tutor, you will need to create a Brainfuse account.
     
  2. If you're inside the Library, you won't need to log in with your library card—you can immediately start using HelpNow. If you're outside of the Library, log in with your library barcode and password, or get a library card to get started.
     
  3. If you want to create a Brainfuse account, visit Brainfuse HelpNow and click on "My Account" in the upper right corner of the screen, then choose "My Account" again from the menu options.
