HiSET

HiSET stands for High School Equivalency Test.[1][2] It is an alternative to a United States HS diploma and the GED and TASC test. The test was designed based on the OCTAE College and Career Readiness Standards for Adult Education.[3] It is governed by ETS and is provided in cooperation with relevant authority of the state or territories.[4]

High school drop-outs and adults in the U.S. and its territories, who did not graduate from high school can earn a high school equivalency (HSE) credential with the HiSET test.[2] Candidates are required to demonstrate that they have the same skills and knowledge as a high school graduate. Upon passing the test, candidates are issued a high school equivalency certificate or high school equivalency diploma by the respective state or jurisdiction in which they took the test. [4]

Requirements

Each state or jurisdiction has its own testing requirements and policies. Fees and retesting rules sometimes vary. Besides that, some states have minimum age limits or requirements of in-state residency status. Some states require a candidate to take a preparation course before taking the exam.[5]
