What’s on the GED and HiSET Exams
The GED exam includes four modular subtests that measure a student’s knowledge in these subjects:
- Math
- Language
- Science
- Social Studies
These sub-exams can be written independently and in any order.
The HiSET exam has separate Reading and Writing subtests, so five in total, that are also offered individually if you wish.
Both exams assess an applicant’s knowledge at a level that compares to what high school students must command at graduation.
The GED is a fully computerized exam, whereas the HiSET is offered both on paper and on a computer.

Online HiSET and GED Testing
To take the GED or HiSET exam, it used to be required to appear in person at a test center. Well, a few years back, that changed when the online versions of the GED and HiSET were rolled out nationwide.
Read more about the online GED test in this post: Online GED Testing.
For more information about the online HiSET exam, go to: Online HiSET Testing.
To take the GED test online, you’ll first have to score “green” results on the official practice test GED Ready.
For each GED sub-exam, there is a GED Ready test, making it four in total, which will cost you an additional $32 on top of the Colorado testing fees, as each GED Ready costs $7.99.
Free GED Ready Tests
Students who prepare for their GED exam with an Advantage Plan by Onsego don’t need to buy any practice tests, because their plan already includes 4 GED Ready vouchers for free, a whopping $32 bonus.
Advantage Plans by Onsego are very reasonably priced. There’s a 6-month plan for $79, and that includes the four free GED Ready test vouchers, and so much more.
