The Independent GED and HiSET Subsets

The HiSET (short for High School Equivalency Test) contains five subtests in

• Language Reading
• Language Writing
• Math
• Science
• Social Studies

GED (General Educational Development) testing involves four sub-exams, as the sections of reading and writing were merged into one Language exam.

HiSET testing is possible both on a computer and in a paper-and-pencil format. GED testing is exclusively offered on a computer.

Like the GED exam, the HiSET exam measures knowledge at a level that is comparable to that of high school students upon graduation.

High School Equivalency Testing

For over 70 years, tens of thousands of Louisiana adults who never finished high school received their alternative diplomas by completing a series of tests usually referred to as the GED exam.

The HiSET is offered both on paper and on a computer, whereas the GED is offered exclusively in a computer-based format.

Online GED and HiSET Testing Option

In earlier days, GED or HiSET testing was not possible via the Internet. To earn a Louisiana high school equivalency diploma, you had to appear in person at one of Louisiana’s state-designated testing facilities.

With the arrival of the online HiSET and GED tests a few years ago, however, that changed.

So today, you can take the HiSET and GED tests from home while an online proctor checks if you do it all in accordance with strict online testing requirements.

Check out ‘The Online HiSET Test’ to learn more about the online HiSET exam.

For more details about the online GED test, visit: ‘The Online Proctored GED Test.

To qualify for online GED testing, you must first achieve passing results (scores in the ‘green’ range) on the official GED Ready test.

There’s one of these tests for each of the four GED modules. They cost $7.99 each, adding $32 to your total Louisiana testing expenses.

Free GED Ready Tests

Students preparing for the GED exam with an Onsego Advantage Plan get four GED Ready Vouchers for free, a $32 value. These free tests come with their plan!

If you learn with Onsego, you can be sure you’ll be properly prepared for the GED test efficiently and quickly, and these plans are very affordable, starting at just $79.
