The assessment is for persons who did not graduate from high school. This way, they can acquire an equivalent degree.
The HiSET® includes five subtests in the academic areas of math, writing, reading, social studies, and science.
The HiSET subtests are available both on a computer and on paper and can be taken separately.
Online HiSET testing was, until recently, no option. You had to come to a state-designated testing site and sit for the exam in person.
Now, this has changed with the arrival of the online proctored (OP) HiSET testing option. Read more at the bottom of this page.
