The exams give persons who didn’t graduate high school an extra chance to obtain an equivalent diploma. Testing takes place at a similar level as what HS graduates must command.

The GED comes with four separate subtests assessing a student’s knowledge of these subjects:

  • English Language Literacy
  • Math
  • Science
  • Social Studies

These modules (independent sub-exams) may be completed one test at a time and in any order.

The HiSET has individual writing and reading tests, so five in total, that are available separately, too.

Online GED Classes

A simple and easy way of getting your GED diploma.

The GED exam is only available in a computer-based format, while the HiSET is offered both on paper and on computer.

Our website includes free online GED classes to help you start earning your GED diploma today and learn if an online course is good for you. If so, we suggest you complete your GED prep journey with Onsego, an accredited, affordable, and entertaining GED prep course.

If learning with a teacher is more your thing, do not hesitate to contact one of the sites listed below.

In the past, HiSET or GED testing was only possible at certified testing centers. Now, however, that has changed with the introduction of online test-taking options. For information about online GED and HiSET testing, check below.

Online HiSET and GED Testing Options

In the past, the GED and HiSET tests were not offered via the Internet. To earn your North Carolina HSE diploma, you had to appear in person at a state-approved North Carolina HSE testing site.

Fortunately, this has now changed with the arrival of online GED and HiSET testing options. An online proctor will see if your testing happens in accordance with the regulations. For more information about the online GED testing option, go to this post: The online GED test, and for details about the online HiSET test, visit The online HiSET exam.
