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

Online GED and HiSET Testing Option
Until a few years ago, GED or HiSET testing was not possible via the Internet. To earn a Louisiana HSE (high school equivalency) degree, you had to appear in person at one of Louisiana’s state-designated testing facilities. Now, however, with the arrival of online proctored HiSET and GED testing options, this has all changed. The online options are called ‘HiSET-Exam-At-Home’ and the OP (Online Proctored) GED Test.
So now you can take the HiSET exam (five separate subtests) and GED test (four separate subtests) 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’ if you want to learn more. For more details about the Online Proctored GED Test, <- check here.

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 GED (General Educational Development) was replaced in Louisiana by a different high school equivalency assessment, the HiSET (High School Equivalency Test), developed by ETS (Educational Testing Service), but now published by PSI. The HiSET is offered both on paper and on a computer, whereas the GED is offered exclusively in a computer-based format.
