The HiSET® is available both on paper and on a computer, while the GED® must be taken entirely on a computer.
The exams are for adults who quit high school prematurely and give them a chance to earn an equivalent credential.
The diploma allows for continued academic education and definitely will result in enhanced job options.
The GED exam includes four individual subtests in Social Studies, Literacy, Science, and Math that may be dealt with separately.
The HiSET has five subtests, as reading and writing are separate. The HiSET subtests can be taken individually as well.

Online HiSET And GED Testing Options Welcomed
Until recently, taking the HiSET or GED over the Internet was not possible. Your personal appearance at one of Massachusetts’ state-designated GED/HiSET testing facilities was required. Now, that has changed as we saw the introduction of new online HiSET and GED testing options.
To read more about the ‘HiSET-Exam-At-Home,’ go to ‘HiSET exam online,’ and for further information about online GED testing, check out ‘Online GED testing introduced.’
Your Future
In America, we have a problem with filling more than four million jobs that require a high school diploma. There just aren’t enough qualified people around, and that causes major concerns for our economy. What we also know is that there are more than forty million adults who don’t have a high school diploma because they quit school prematurely.
The GED is scored on a 100-200 scale where a score of 145 – 164 indicates high school equivalency, a 165 – 174 score indicates college readiness, and a 175 – 200 score will result in college credit as well.
The HiSET sub-exams are scored on a 0-20 scale, and the minimally required result is an 8-score. Overall, you must reach at least 45 points, and your essay must have at least 2 out of 6 points.
A few years back, the GED exam was completely overhauled, and it offers a great track for all those without a high school diploma to obtain a comparable degree, and graduates are sure to get one of these unfilled job positions.
The shortfall of qualified workers has a tremendous negative effect on our economy, and businesses are not running to their full potential. The GED program offers the possibility to register and pay for one of the four tests separately. The five HiSET subtests may also be taken one at a time.
