It doesn’t matter when you left school.
The HiSET exam is offered both in a computer-based model and in a paper-and-pencil format.
The HiSET®, like the GED®, assesses knowledge at a level that may be expected of high school seniors upon graduation.
The HiSET exam contains five subtests in the fields of Writing, Reading, Social Studies, Math, and Science.
Until recently, to earn your high school equivalency diploma, you needed to show up in person at a state-approved HiSET testing center.
Now, however, we’ve witnessed the introduction of a new online HiSET testing option, so that has changed. Read more below.

Louisiana HiSET Practice TestHiSET Online Testing Option Introduced
HiSET testing was, until recently, not offered over the internet. If you wanted to get hold of a Louisiana high school equivalency credential, you needed to come personally to an official Louisiana HiSET testing center. But now, all of this has changed as a new HiSET online testing option (called the HiSET-At-Home) was introduced.
So now you can take the five HiSET modules (one or more at a time if you wish) from your home utilizing a new online format where a proctor will see if your test-taking efforts occur in line with strict regulations. If you want to read more, go to this page: ‘The HiSET Onljne Test Introduced.’
