Online GED, HiSET Testing
Until recently, taking the GED or HiSET exam online was not an option. The tests were just not offered online. To earn your high school equivalency diploma in Illinois, you were required to come to an official testing site.
Well, that has changed. The GED and HiSET exams are now also offered online in proctored versions. To learn more, check out: ‘The online GED exam,’ and for HiSET information, go to ‘The online HiSET exam.’
