Online HiSET or GED testing was, until recently, no option. You needed to come to an official Louisiana HSE (High School Equivalency) test center and sit for the test in person.
The arrival of the HiSET-At-Home-Exam and OP (Online Proctored) GED test, however, has changed this. Read more below.

HiSET and GED Online Testing Option Introduced
Until recently, the HiSET and GED tests were not offered via the Internet. If you were looking to earn your high school equivalency diploma in Louisiana, your personal appearance at an official HSE testing facility was required. But now, this has changed with the introduction of an online HiSET testing option called the HiSET-Exam-At-Home and the Online Proctored (O.P.) GED test.
So today, you have the option to take the five HiSET or four GED subtests from your home with an online format that utilizes a proctor who checks if your test-taking process happens in line with very strict regulations. Visit ‘The Online HiSET Test’ to read more. For more details on the online GED Test, go to The Online GED Exam.
