Here we list all GED or HiSET prep facilities and test centers in the Worcester region. Massachusetts offers two options for high school equivalency testing, the HiSET and GED.
Both exams are available in an online format and at certified testing facilities.
The assessments give adults who ever graduated high school an extra opportunity to get hold of an equivalent diploma.
The HiSET® and GED® exams examine knowledge at a level that high school students must command upon graduation.
The GED exam has four separate tests that may be taken separately in the fields of Math. Literacy, Social Studies, and Science.
The HiSET has five tests (Literacy has individual writing and reading tests) that are also offered separately.
GED testing is done exclusively on a computer, whereas the HiSET is offered on-paper and on-computer.
