Posted here all GED® and HiSET prep sites and test centers in the State College region. Pennsylvania uses two options for high school equivalency (HSE) testing, the GED and HiSET.
GED and HiSET testing can be done online and at official Pennsylvania HSE test facilities.
Both HSE exams are for adults without a high school diploma and give them the chance to earn an equivalent credential.
Both tests measure knowledge at a level that’s comparable to that of graduating high school seniors.
The HiSET is offered both on-paper and on-computer whereas the GED exam is totally computer-based.
The GED includes four independent modules in Science, Math, Social Studies, and Literacy, that may be completed separately.
The HiSET has separate writing and reading tests, so five in total and you can take these tests one at a time as well.
In the past, taking the HiSET or GED exam online was never possible. But recently, we saw the launch of online proctored GED and HiSET exams. To learn more, check the bottom of this post.

Introducing online GED or HiSET testing
In earlier days, GED and HiSET testing could never be done online. You were required to show up personally at an official, state-designated Pennsylvania HSE test center. But recently, all of that changed with the launch of online proctored GED and HiSET testing options.
To learn all about the newly introduced HiSET online proctored exam, check out this page: ‘Introducing an online proctored HiSET testing option’ and to earn all about the recently launched online proctored GED testing option, go to ‘Welcoming online proctored GED testing’.
