This post shows all GED and HiSET prep locations and testing sites in the Shelbyville region. Indiana is using the GED and HiSET exams for its high school equivalency (HSE) testing program.
Both assessments offer adults who never finished high school the opportunity to acquire an educational degree that’s accepted in the same way as a high school diploma.

The HiSET and GED Sub-exams
The HiSET exam contains five subtests covering the academic areas of
- Social Studies
- Math
- Language Reading
- Language Writing
- Science
On the GED exam, the English writing and English reading portions were combined into a single English Language subtest. So, the GED has four subject tests.
The HiSET and GED sub-exams are independent modules. You may take them one at a time and in your preferred order.
The HiSET exam is available in both a paper-based and a computerized model, whereas the GED is fully computer-based.

Can I Take the GED or HiSET Exam Online?
Yes, both the GED test and the HiSET exam are available online. So you can appear in person at an official Indiana testing center or, if you qualify, take the four or five subtests online. The exams are available in English and Spanish.
Online studying for your high school equivalency diploma is a perfect way of learning, but to take the GED or HiSET exam online, you must first attain “likely to pass” scores on the Official HiSET Practice Test or the GED Ready Practice Test.
To take the GED exam online, you are required to first pass the GED Ready test. There’s one of these tests for each of the four GED sub-exams, making it four GED Ready tests overall. These practice tests are $7.99 each, so that adds $32 to your GED testing cost.
Students registered for one of Onsego’s Advantage Plans receive four GED Ready vouchers for free. That’s, along with more extras, included in their Advantage Plans. Now, isn’t that a wonderful $32 value bonus?
You can very well use Onsego’s GED course for your HiSET preparation as well, since both exams have quite similar content.
Holding the Indiana HSE diploma will surely result in far better job opportunities, and holders of a high school equivalency credential make at least $9500 more annually than people without the degree.
The diploma also opens the doors to colleges and universities. You should also take a look at this website’s free practice tests for your GED or HiSET exam.
