In West Virginia, the exams must be taken at official test sites. The state does NOT offer the exams online. You can perhaps take the exams online in a state without residency requirements. Read more about online testing in the bottom paragraph.
In West Virginia, only computer-based testing is available for both exams. The West Virginia GED and HiSET tests are free and open only to state residents.
You can risk-free benefit from the free online GED classes provided on our website to start your preparation. They also let you see if online learning is right for you.

What is on the HiSET and GED Exams
The HiSET contains five subtests that cover these academic fields:
- English writing
- English reading
- Science
- Math
- Social Studies
GED testing consists of four modular sub-exams; here, the Reading and Writing portions were combined into one “Reasoning through Language Arts” subtest.
You can take the HiSET and GED modules one or more at a time and in any desired order.

The HiSET Exam
West Virginia stopped using the TASC for its High School Equivalency (HSE) testing program in 2021 and switched to the HiSET exam. The state pays for testing (as one of only a few states).
Please note that in many states, the GED and HiSET exams can be taken online as well. This is NOT the case in West Virginia, which offers the exams only at state-certified test centers.
HiSET Scoring
On the HiSET exam, you need to score at least 8 out of a possible 20 points on each of the five subtests.
Your overall score must be 45 or higher, and additionally, a 2-score or higher is required for your essay.
GED Scoring
On the four GED modules, you must reach a score of no less than 145 to pass that subject test.
Scores in the 145-164 category are high school equivalent results, 165-174 category scores are college-ready results, and if you attain scores in the 175-200 range, you’ll also get college credit.
Online GED and HiSET Tests
In earlier days, the GED and HiSET exams were only available at official testing sites. Online testing was simply not offered.
That changed some years ago in many states with the advent of online-proctored GED and HiSET tests, but in West Virginia, testing is only available at test centers.
Perhaps you qualify to take the online GED exam in a state that doesn’t have any residency requirements.
For detailed information on the HiSET online test, check out this article: ‘Welcoming online HiSET testing.’
For detailed information on the GED online testing option, go to this page: ‘Welcoming online GED testing.’
To be eligible for taking the GED test online, you must first achieve passing (‘green’) scores on the official GED Ready practice test.
These practice tests are $7.99 each, and there is one for each GED subtest. So, that will be another $32 to your total testing cost in your chosen state.
Free GED Ready Tests
Students learning for their GED test with an Onsego Advantage Plan get four GED Ready Vouchers for free. That’s a great $32 value bonus, included in their plans!
With Onsego, you can get properly prepared for the GED test in no time, and the plans are quite affordable, starting at $79.
