Online GED and HiSET Testing
The GED and HiSET exams are now also offered in an online format. GED hopefuls must first score “green” on the GED Ready practice test. For more information about the online GED test, check out this page.
To learn all about the online proctored HiSET exam, check out the page Online HiSET Test-At-Home.
GED and HiSET
The GED is scored on a 100-200 scale, and the passing score on each subtest is 145. So, your overall score must be at least 580 to pass the GED test.
In California, residents can also choose to take the HiSET exam to acquire their high school equivalency diploma. This alternative exam is still offered in both paper and computer formats and is cheaper than the now fully ‘digitalized’ GED exam.
State GED test centers have the freedom to decide which of the assessment programs they administer, so be wise and contact a testing center near you for possibilities.
To be successful at the HiSET, your minimum score on each subtest needs to be 8 (out of 20), the essay score between 2 and 6, and your overall score no less than 45 points, excluding your essay.
