This page lists all GED (in Louisiana: HiSET) prep classes and testing sites in the Baton Rouge region. Louisiana uses the HiSET exam for the state’s High School Equivalency testing program.
The exam, just like the GED test, offers persons who quit high school prematurely another opportunity to earn an equivalent degree.

It doesn’t matter when you left school.
The HiSET® exam includes five tests in the fields of science, writing, reading, social studies, and math.
The HiSET exam is available both on paper and in a computer-based format.
In the past, online HiSET or GED® testing was not possible. Applicants needed to show up at an official Louisiana testing site.
Now, with the introduction of an online HiSET testing option, that has all changed. Read more below.
The diploma that’s awarded upon successful completion of the exam is accepted by virtually all employers, government organizations, and educational institutions.

Introducing Online HiSET Testing
Until recently, the HiSET exam was not available over the internet. If you wanted to secure your Louisiana high school equivalency (HSE) diploma, your personal appearance at one of the state’s official testing facilities was required. Now, this has all changed with the arrival of a new, online, proctored HiSET testing option named HiSET-Exam-At-Home.
So now, you can sit for the five HiSET modules (one at a time if you wish) from your home using a new online testing format where a proctor sees if you do everything in accordance with the regulations. Check out ‘The online HiSET test’ to learn more.
