Welcoming the Online GED and HiSET Tests
In the past, there never had been an option to sit for the GED or HiSET exam in an online format. You had to report, in person, to a state-recognized official Tennessee test center.
But now, this has changed with the arrival of the online proctored GED and HiSET exams. If you want more detailed information, visit these posts: The online HiSET test introduced and The Online GED Exam.
