What is on the GED and HiSET Exams
The GED comes with four separate tests (modules) that measure academic proficiency in
- Language
- Math
- Science
- Social Studies
You may write these subtests one or more at a time and in any preferred order.
The HiSET includes five subject tests, as the Language Section comes with separate reading and writing tests. These subtests may, if wished, also be written separately.
Online GED and HiSET Testing
Test-takers looking to earn their California HSE diploma can now also sit for the GED or HiSET exam in an online format. Until a few years ago, online HiSET or GED testing was no option; it simply was not available. You were required to come to an official, state-designated testing site and sit for the exams in person.
That has changed! The GED and HiSET are offered in an online, proctored format as well. To learn more about these developments, check out these posts: online HiSET proctored testing and for the GED exam: online proctored GED testing.
