Modular HiSET and GED Subtests
The HiSET comes with five independent, modular subtests in
- Language Reading
- Language Writing
- Mathematics
- Science
- Social Studies
The GED has four subject tests because the reading and writing sections were combined into one “Reasoning through Language Arts” Test.
The five HiSET or four GED subtests are modular and can be taken one at a time and in any order.
The HiSET is offered on a computer or in a paper-based format, while the GED test is fully computer-based.
HiSET and GED testing occur at a level similar to what high school seniors are expected to command upon graduation.

Why the HiSET Exam?
A few years back, Montana’s officials stopped offering the GED exam, the state’s longtime HSE (high school equivalency) exam, to move to a new testing program.
The HiSET (High School Equivalency Test) works just like the former GED (General Education Development) version.
Montana decided to introduce another HSE exam provider after GED Testing Service, a for-profit company comprising the American Council on Education (ACE) and the textbook and assessment development giant Pearson, doubled the fee for the computer-based GED exam.
Now, Montana education officials have decided to reintroduce the computer-formatted GED test alongside the HiSET exam, which can be taken on a computer or on paper.
Passing Scores
On each one of the five HiSET subtests, your score must be in the 8-20 range, your essay result must be no less than 2, and the total score needs to be at least 45. Averaging is no option, so a result of 8 points is minimally required on each of the five modules.
On the GED exam, you must score at least a 145 on each of the four modules (independent sub-exams). The scoring scale runs from 100 to 200, where scores 100-144 are below passing; 145-154 high school equivalency; 165-174 college-ready; 175-200 college-ready + credit.
Online HiSET and GED Testing
In earlier days, taking the five HiSET subtests online was never possible. A few years back, though, we witnessed the launch of both an online option for the HiSET ( the ‘HiSET-Exam-At-Home’) and the Online Proctored (OP) GED Test.
For more information about the Online Proctored (OP) GED exam, <- check out this page.
Go to ‘Launching the online HiSET test’ if you wish to learn more about the online HiSET exam.
When taking the HiSET or GED exam at home, an online proctor will help you through the testing process and will check if everything is occurring correctly.
Please note that if you’re looking to take the GED exam online, you must first attain ‘green’ scores on the official GED Ready practice test from GED Testing Service.
Since there are four of these tests to pass (one for each GED subtest), you can add $32 to your overall testing cost ($7.99 per practice test).
