HiSET Scoring

To pass the HiSET exam, you need to attain at least a score of 8 on each of the five subtests, have a score of no less than 2 on your essay portion (HiSET writing), and attain a score of no less than 45 for the entire exam, and that does not include your essay score.

Upon completing the HiSET exam, your multiple-choice (unofficial) scores will be available immediately, and generally, your official scores will be posted on your HiSET account within 3 to 5 days for the multiple-choice sections and within 6 to 10 days for the section Language Arts Writing.

GED Scoring

Your GED results are calibrated on a scoring scale running from 100 to 200 points. On each of the four subject tests, you must score at least 145 points, and there is no averaging.

There are four GED scoring ranges:

  • Scores in the 100-144 range are below passing results
  • Scores in the 145-164 range are high school equivalency results
  • Scores in the 165-174 range are college-ready results
  • Scores in the 175-200 range are college ready + credit results

When coming to sit for the GED or HiSET exam, all test takers must present proper identification either issued by the state or the federal government. Expired or outdated IDs are not accepted. This also applies to online testing. See also this page about the HiSET and GED eligibility requirements in Louisiana.

What’s On The Exams?

The HiSET exam (short for High School Equivalency Test) contains five subtests that cover the academic subject areas of Science, Math, Social Studies, Language Literacy Writing, and Language Literacy Reading. You have the choice to prepare for and take the five sub-exams one or more at a time.

As said before, the GED exam has four subject tests as the sections Language Writing and Language Reading were combined into one Reasoning through Language Arts sub-exam.

How Do I Prepare For The GED or HiSET Exam?

The passing standard for the GED and HiSET exams is set at such a level that around forty percent of all high school graduates would not be able to pass the exam on their first try. So, getting perfectly prepared is the key to success on the exam.

You may want to attend a physical GED or HiSET prep class in your community, and your local bookstore and the library will also have plenty of prep material available.

These days, there are also some great and well-structured online prep courses available over the Internet, for example, the online GED classes from Onsego that will help you get all set for success fast. HiSET and GED contents are quite comparable, so you may very well use a good online GED course to get set for the HiSET exam.
