Posted here are all GED (in Missouri: HiSET) prep classes and testing sites in the Saint Louis region. Missouri uses the HiSET for high school equivalency testing.
The HiSET can be taken at certified testing centers or in an online format, as we recently saw the launch of 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 HiSET exam includes five tests in the subject areas of Reading, Writing, Math, Science, and Social Studies.
HiSET testing can be done on paper and in a computer-based format, and the subtests may be taken individually.
