The Four Independent GED Sub-exams
The GED includes four separate subject tests (modules) that may be completed one subtest at a time and in the order you prefer.
The four GED testing fields are
- Social Studies
- Science
- Math
- English Language Literacy
The HiSET has individual reading and writing subtests that you may also take separately.
The HiSET exam may be taken on a computer and in a paper-based format, but the GED is only offered in a computer-based format.
Testing happens at a level that compares to what high school students must know when they graduate.

The Ohio HSE (High School Equivalency) diploma also clears the way for a great college education. Securing your Ohio HSE diploma will surely improve the quality of your life.
The Online HiSET and GED Exams
In earlier days, to secure your Ohio high school equivalency credential, you needed to report in person to an official HSE testing center. Now, this has all changed as we’ve seen the introduction of online HiSET and GED test-taking options.
To read all about the online proctored HiSET exam, check out this page: ‘The Online HiSET Exam,’ and if you want to read more about the online GED test, visit this page: ‘The Online GED Test.’
In case you’re thinking about online GED testing, bear in mind that this requires you to first pass the official GED Ready test for the GED subject test you want to take. The GED Ready test is the official practice test available for $7.99 at GED.com.
To earn your GED, you must pass four GED subtests, so that’s four corresponding GED Ready tests as well. That will add $32 to the regular GED testing fees.
However, if you study for your GED with one of Onsego’s Advantage Plans, you will get the four GED Ready tests totally free, as all of Onsego’s Advantage Plans include four vouchers for these practice tests at no additional cost. Isn’t that a wonderful $32 bonus?
