GED Testing in Tennessee

To receive their GED Tennessee diploma, students must pass the four independent subtests that make up the GED exam.

Tennessee uses the GED and HiSET exams for its high school equivalency testing program. The exams provide individuals who never completed high school the opportunity to earn an equivalent degree.

This website’s free GED online classes and practice are great resources to start out on your GED prep journey. This way, you can discover if online learning is the proper method for you.

If that is the case, we recommend you continue with Onsego GED Prep, a full-scale, accredited GED prep course that GED Testing Service describes as entirely GED-aligned.

GED Tennessee Scoring

GED results are calibrated on a scoring scale from 100 to 200. On each of the four GED sub-exams, the minimum score is 145. There are three GED passing score ranges:

• 145-164: Scores in this range indicate high school equivalent results.
• 165-174: Scores in this range indicate college readiness.
• 175-200: Scores in this range will additionally result in up to 10 college credits, depending on the college or university and the GED subject.

When you pass the GED or HiSET exam, you’ll receive a diploma that allows for a college education or well-paying employment.

Holding the Tennessee high school equivalency diploma will undoubtedly boost your employment options and lead to a better and more rewarding career.

HiSET Scoring

To pass the HiSET exam, you need to attain a score of at least 8 (out of a possible 20) on each of the five subtests (Math, Language Writing, Language Reading, Social Studies, and Science). On the essay part, you need to score at least 2 out of 6, and your total score (across all five subtests) must not be lower than 45 points (out of a possible 100), not including your essay score.

HiSET and GED Testing

The TDLWD (Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development) decided that both the HiSET and GED exams can be used for high school equivalency testing in the state. All over Tennessee, you can find many facilities that provide GED or HiSET prep classes to get you all set to take the exams successfully.

All Tennessee Technology Centers and vocational/technical schools offer GED and/or HiSET prep classes, and many more adult education centers are listed in the directory above. Once you’re ready, schedule your test and see your opportunities.

Get in touch with a GED or HiSET prep facility near you and see if you qualify for the high school equivalency program. Not everybody qualifies: you cannot have a high school diploma or be enrolled in a school program. Become aware of requirements and regulations, and get optimally prepared.

Community libraries and bookstores can supply a lot of study material, and you can find good online programs as well. There are numerous locations where GED or HiSET prep classes are available, mostly totally free of charge (see the above listing of major city areas), and in combination with a top-notch online prep course, you’ll get all set in no time.

State residency is not required, and there’s no need to achieve a minimum score on a practice test or take a prep course before registration, except when testing online.

What is the GED Tennessee cost?

The GED Tennessee exam costs $36 per sub-exam ($144 for the full battery), regardless of whether you take it online or on-site. When testing online, you should also count the cost of four GED Ready practice tests ($7.99 each). Without passing these tests, you cannot register for the online GED exam.

The Tennessee HiSET test costs $78.75 for testers who take the computer-based version or $100 for testers who take the exam on paper. There is no need to take the entire GED or HiSET battery in one sitting.

You can register for, pay for, and take the five HiSET or four GED subtests one at a time.
