This post contains a full listing of GED and HiSET prep locations and testing sites in the Columbus area.
So Indiana is using two options for high school equivalency testing purposes.
The HiSET®, like the GED®, measures proficiency at a level that’s comparable to that of HS seniors upon graduation.
The HiSET test includes five subtests in the following fields: Math, English Reading, English Writing, Science, and Social Studies.
The GED exam comes with four sub-exams as the writing and reading sections were combined into one Language Arts test.
In total, you will need some 7.5 hours to complete the entire GED or HiSET battery, usually split up over a few days, but you have the liberty to take the subtests separately, one at a time.
The GED is a fully computer-formatted exam, whereas the HiSET can be taken on paper or in a computerized version.

GED Passing Score
On the GED sub-exams, the minimally needed score is 145 out of 200. So your total score can never be less than 580. a 145-164 result indicates high school equivalency, 165-174 indicates college readiness, and a 175-200 score will additionally result in up to 10 college credit hours.
HiSET Passing Score
On the HiSET exam, you must attain a score of at least 8 points (out of 20) on each of the five HiSET subtests, and your total score must be no less than 45 points. In the essay section, your result must be at least a 2-score (out of 6). There is no averaging, so the 8-score is what you must have minimally on each of the five tests.
