What’s on the HiSET Exam?
The HiSET exam has five tests that assess a candidate’s knowledge in these subject areas:
- Language Arts Reading
- Language Arts Writing
- Mathematics
- Science
- Social Studies
The assessment can be taken both on a computer and on paper in most states that use the HiSET, but Maine offers only computer-based testing.
The Maine high school equivalency diploma is accepted in the same way as a standard high school diploma by employers and schools.

The Online HiSET Exam
Until a few years ago, HiSET testing was not offered online, and it still isn’t in Maine. To earn your Maine high school equivalency diploma, your personal appearance at one of Maine’s state-designated HiSET testing centers is required.
In many states, however, all of this changed with the introduction of the online proctored HiSET exam.
So in several states, you can also take the HiSET exam from your own home in an online format that uses a proctor to oversee your testing activities, and check if all is according to some pretty strict regulations.
Check out this post to learn more-> ‘The HiSET Online Test.’
Perhaps you qualify for online HiSET or GED testing in a state that has no residency requirement.
To qualify for the online GED exam, you must first reach passing scores (‘green’ results) on the GED Ready practice test.
In total, there are four of these tests (one for each GED subject), costing you $32 ($7.99 per test) in addition to the regular testing costs in that state.
If you opt to prepare for your online GED test with an Onsego Advantage Plan, there’s no need to buy these practice tests, as all these plans include four GED Ready vouchers at no extra cost.
Onsego Advantage Plans are already available at $79 for the 6-month option. All Onsego Advantage Plans include unlimited access to all the lessons and practice tests from day one, four GED Ready Vouchers, and many more free bonuses.
