This article lists all GED and HiSET prep locations and testing sites in the Philadelphia area. Pennsylvania offers two options for high school equivalency testing, the GED and HiSET exams.
Both exams are available online and at official Pennsylvania test centers.
The program offers adults who never completed high school the chance to acquire an equivalent credential.
The assessments measure knowledge at a level that compares to that of graduating HS seniors.
The GED® exam has four subtests (modules) in Math, Science, Literacy, and Social Studies that can be taken separately.
The HiSET® has two literacy tests (reading and writing), so five in total, but these tests can be taken separately, too.
In the past, there was no online testing option. Applicants had to show up at an official Pennsylvania test center.
This has now changed, however, with the launch of HiSET and GED online proctored exams. Check below, at the bottom of this page, for more details.

Introducing Online Proctored GED And HiSET Testing
HiSET or GED testing was, until recently, never possible over the internet. The exams had to be dealt with, in person, at one of Pennsylvania’s official state-approved testing facilities. But now, we witnessed the introduction of online proctored HiSET and GED tests as well.
For more information on the HiSET online proctored exam, check out the following post: ‘Welcoming the online HiSET test, and to get informed about the recently introduced online GED testing option, go to ‘Welcoming online proctored GED testing.’
