Listed here are all GED® prep class sites and testing locations in the Natchez region. Mississippi is using multiple options for its high school equivalency(HSE) testing program, the GED, TASC, and HiSET.
The HSE test provides an opportunity for adults without a high school diploma to earn an equivalent degree.
The computer-based GED comes with four individual modules (subtests) that may be dealt with separately.
The GED testing fields are math, language arts, social studies, and science.
The HiSET and TASC alternatives include separate reading and writing tests, so five in total, that can also be taken separately.
The HiSET and TASC exams offered in both a paper-based and a computer-based version.
Online HSE testing was never possible but recent changes have made that the HiSET and GED exams are now also offered in an online format. Learn more below.

Online HiSET-GED testing
Until recently. there was no option to sit for the GED, TASC, or HiSET exam online. You were required to appear personally at a state-designated Mississippi HSE testing site. Now, however, the HiSET and GED exams became available over the internet as well.
To learn more about these interesting developments, go for HiSET information to this post: online HiSET testing welcomed, and for more information on online GED testing, visit this page: online GED testing option welcomed.
Your future
The world around us is changing and computer-based testing has become part of our way of life. Nowadays, even for the lowest paying of all jobs you need some sort of basic computer knowledge and for 85% of all vacant jobs you are required to have finished a secondary education you must have at least a high school or GED diploma).
GED vs. TASC and HiSETHSE scoring
GED passing score is 145 out of 200. High School Equivalency score: 145-165. The GED College-ready score is 165-175 and students with a 175-200 score receive extra college credits.
The TASC passing score is 500 out of 800. The essay result must be at least 2 out of 8.
The HiSET passing score is 8 out of 20. The total HiSET score must be no less than 45 and the essay result must be at least 2 out of 8.
The Mississippi HSE diploma carries the same weight as a standard high school diploma and is honored across North America for employment requirements and college entrance. So if you don’t hold a high school diploma, the GED (General Educational Development) or the HiSET or TASC might be your perfect track.
