The HiSET and GED Subtests

The HiSET comes with five independent subtests that measure academic proficiency in these subjects:

• English Language Reading
• English Language Writing
• Science
• Mathematics
• Social Studies

The HiSET exam has five individual tests that cover the same academic subject areas as the four GED modules.

The Reading test measures your skills to comprehend, interpret, and analyze a wide selection of literary and informational fragments.

This part involves various literary genres and subject matter in different styles. The articles may come in the form of essays, poetry, biographical sketches, or editorials.

The various test texts generally have a length of 400 – 600 words. If you want to learn your HiSET test scores, you will have to wait a few days, and they will not be sent by mail but will be available through your HiSET account.

HiSET test results are posted online within 3 to 5 days after a multiple-choice test and 6 to 10 days after an essay test. If you need some help accessing your test scores, please contact your testing center or go to ‘Getting Your Scores’ on your HiSET account.

The HiSET test in Writing (at least if you take the exam in English) measures your competency to recognize and produce standard American-English written sentences and essays, and the test is in two parts.

The first part measures how well you can edit and revise written texts, and the second part measures your ability to produce and organize ideas in writing. Spanish-speaking applicants can write their essays in Spanish.

The Mathematics test measures your knowledge and skills in math. You must solve quantitative issues by applying basic concepts and skills.

The questions include practical issues that require numerical and measurement operations, data interpretation, and logical reasoning.

The questions are often related to realistic situations and test your understanding of abstract concepts like algebraic patterns, precision in measurement, and probability.

The Science test measures how well you can use science content and knowledge, your ability to apply principles of scientific inquiry, and how well you can interpret and evaluate scientific information.

The questions will use a range of materials from a wide variety of areas, for example, chemistry, physics, zoology, botany, health, and astronomy.

The test in Social Studies measures your capacity to analyze and evaluate specific information on a wide range of social studies.

This test includes questions about a broad range of content areas, such as history, economics, political science, geography, psychology, sociology, and anthropology.

On the GED test, the Language Writing and Language Reading modules were combined into one ‘Reasoning through Language Arts’ subtest.

HiSET and GED testing takes place at the same academic proficiency level as may be expected of graduating HS students.

The five HiSET subtests can be taken both on a computer and on paper, while the GED is entirely computer-based.

You can take one (or more) of the GED or HiSET subtests at a time, in your desired order.

The Online HiSET and GED Tests

In the past, there was never the option to take the GED or HiSET exam via the Internet. Some years ago, however, we witnessed the launch of th online proctored HiSET and GED tests.

When taking the ‘HiSET-Exam-At-Home’ or the ‘Online Proctored GED Test,’ a proctor guides you through the entire process and sees if all is occurring correctly.

To learn more about the online HiSET exam, visit: The launch of the HiSET-At-Home test.

For more information about the online GED test, check: The Online Proctored GED Test.

If you want to take the GED test online, be aware that you first need to reach ‘green’ scores on the GED Ready practice test.

Since there’s a GED Ready test for each of the four GED subtests, you must pass four GED Ready tests, which cost $7.99 each on the GED.com website.

So that will add an extra $32 to the overall cost of online GED testing. Onsego Advantage students get four GED Ready tests for free with their plan.

All Onsego Advantage Plans (available from $79) include full access to all materials, many bonuses, and the four free GED Ready Vouchers.
