The HiSET and GED exams can be taken at certified testing centers or in an online format, as we recently saw the launch of the “Online Proctored GED Test” and the “HiSET-At-Home” exam. Learn more at the bottom of this post.
The HiSET, like the GED exam, gives adults who never finished high school the chance to earn an equivalent credential. Testing is done at a level similar to what HS seniors must command upon graduation.
The GED test has four independent, modular sub-exams that assess an applicant’s knowledge and skills in the academic areas of:

The HiSET exam includes five tests because the Language portion has individual reading and writing sub-exams.
HiSET testing can be done on paper and in a computer-based format, while the GED is a fully computer-formatted assessment. All of the HiSET and GED subtests may be taken individually and in any preferred order.
