GED In Indiana

Indiana is using both the GED and the HiSET exam for High School Equivalency testing. Both exams give individuals who couldn’t complete high school the opportunity to earn an equivalent degree.

BestGEDClasses offers free support for candidates looking to earn a GED or HiSET diploma. Registration for the exams must be done at GED.com hiset.ets.org.

The HiSET® exam is offered in both a paper-based and a computerized version, whereas the GED® is totally computer-based.

GED and HiSET testing can be done online and at state-certified test centers. To register for the GED test, candidates are required to set up an account on the website GED.com. For the HiSET exam, creating an account at hiset.ets.org is required.

The cost of the HiSET (for all 5 subtests) is $52, but testing centers can (and will) charge administrative fees on top of that, including a $10 administrative fee for retesting, so the overall cost will be between $105 and $115.

The GED test has four independent subtests that cost $30 each ($120 in total) at a test center. When taken online, the sub-exams are $36 each ($144 overall), but you’ll also need to attain passing scores on four GED Ready tests to qualify for online testing, so that’ll be an additional $28.

Most states raised the GED testing fee for on-site testing to the same level as online testing in June 2023, but Indiana did not.

GED Passing Score

GED scoring occurs on a 100-200 scale, where 145 is the passing score. Results in the 145-164 range indicate high school equivalency, results in the 165-174 range indicate college readiness, while 175-200 results will additionally result in up to ten college credit hours.

The GED test has four subject tests because the sections English Writing and English Reading were combined into one Reasoning Through Language Arts subject test.

HiSET Exam Passing Score

The HiSET consists of five tests on these subject matters: Language Arts Reading, Language Arts Writing, Math, Science, and Social Studies. You will be given around 7.5 hours to complete all tests, but you don’t need to take all subject tests at the same time.

The five HiSET subtests are scored on a scale from 0 to 20. You must attain at least an 8-score on each subtest and 45 overall, and on your essay, you must have at least a score of 2 out of a possible 6.

Free Video Lessons And Practice tests

On this website, there are hundreds of free video lessons and practice tests available. You can use our practice tests, just like our video lessons, for free, and there’s no need to sign up as well!

The practice tests and video lessons are courtesy of Onsego GED Prep, a premium course accredited by GED Testing Service. The HiSET content is similar to the GED content. Your Indiana high school equivalency diploma is your ticket to a fine professional career!

HiSET And GED Testing In Indiana

The GED has become very expensive and is only available on a computer. So Indiana had chosen to continue with the HiSET exam. Now, however, the state offers both exams for its HSE (High School Equivalency) program.

Be totally prepared when you take the GED or HiSET exam. Your local library or bookstore can provide you with materials, but there are also many GED or HiSET classes in your area that offer free preparation. Getting all set online is also a fine option. The Indiana high school equivalency test gives you a chance to acquire a great education and rewarding employment.

In the modern technology-driven world, you need at least a high school diploma or equivalent for just about any kind of work, and if you go the GED road, you will not only make more money but also will improve the lives of the people around you.

Why The GED Is Important

In case you would like to get a more rewarding job, career improvement, or a college education, it could be very useful to complete your high school education by taking on the GED (General Education Development) or the HiSET exam. Many people choose the GED or HiSET program to get their secondary education back on track.

Free GED Online Prep In Indiana

You can find many Indiana locations where GED or HiSET classes are available to get you all set to take the exam confidently. You can appear in person at one of the Indiana testing sites or take the exams over the Internet.

When you have passed the GED or HiSET exam, you will receive the Indiana HSE (High School Equivalency) diploma. This document is accepted just like a common high school diploma by employers, schools, recruiters, and government agencies nationwide.

It’s About Your Future

Over the past years, we have seen an enormous increase in new entry-level jobs in the Financial Services sector and healthcare sectors. These fields alone added more than 3,400 new jobs per year to the Indiana employment market, and if you would like to get access to these great opportunities, you really need to have at least a secondary education.

Even for those who were out of school for a longer period of time, the HiSET or GED test is a great option that can be taken and passed on the first try if the preparation is sufficient.

All across Indiana, you can find HiSET or GED prep classes and adult education programs, so you will be able to get ahead in life and career without wasting a lot of time or energy. HiSET and GED testing is usually offered in English and Spanish, but before you sign up, check if your local test site also follows these policies.

The HSE (high school equivalency) program is essential for adults who did not complete high school, and it offers them one more chance to acquire an equivalent diploma. The diploma will improve employment options and open doors to colleges and universities.

The five testing subject areas of the HiSET in Indiana are Language Writing, Language Reading, Social Studies, Math, and Science. The GED exam has combined the English Reading and English Writing subtests into one Reasoning through Language Arts sub-exam, so there are four GED sub-exams.

Check here for more information about taking the HiSET online, the “HiSET-At-Home” exam. For more details about online GED testing, check here.

FAQ About GED In Indiana

How to get a GED in Indiana?

Indiana is using both the GED and HiSET for high school equivalency (HSE) testing. To earn your HSE (high school equivalency) diploma in Indiana, you need to pass four GED or five HiSET tests. The HiSET subtests cover Math, Writing, Reading, Science, and Social Studies. GED testing includes four sub-exams since reading and writing were combined. GED testing is computer-based, while the HiSET exam can be taken on paper or a computer.

What are the Indiana GED testing requirements?

The GED and HiSET exams are for adults who don’t hold a high school diploma. Indiana requires testers to be at least 16 years old. 16 and 17-year-olds, however, must meet additional strict requirements. There’s no need to first take a practice te, but in Indiana, state residency is required.

What is the GED cost in Indiana?

The GED exam costs $30 per subtest when written at a test center. Online testing costs $36 per subtest. Take into account, however, that to be eligible for online testing, you first need to attain passing scores on four GED Teasy tests, a $28 additional overall cost. As one of just a few states, Indiana kept the price of on-site GED testing at $30.

In Indiana, the HiSET exam costs $90-$115 for the entire exam, but you have the freedom to take (and pay for) the five subtests (modules) one or more at a time, like the GED subtests.
