HiSET (Formerly GED)

HiSET (Formerly GED)

Free

with Emily Nash

The HiSET is designed as a test of the knowledge and skills developed in high school. There are five individual tests, covering material on a range of subjects including English, Writing, Math, Social Studies and Science.

Reach out to us for an informal meeting with our student advisor to find out what to expect on the HISET, how to interpret questions, options for studying to pass the tests, and essential strategies, including test taking skills. After meeting with the advisor, when you are ready, perhaps even the same day, you can start taking the practice tests. Then your advisor will help you make a plan to pass the HiSET test and earn a diploma that will open doors for you. We also offer career advising to all our HiSET students.

People often ask how long it will take and it's impossible to predict until we meet with you and you take some assessments. It takes courage for most people to make the connection with us, but our staff is respectful, patient, kind and competent. They have a lot of experience assisting people to prepare for the HiSET, and/or developing a plan that best meets learner goals.

HiSET practice and official testing are available daytime and evening hours weekly throughout the year. A schedule of test dates is available at our learning center and on our website: www.ellsworth.maineadulted.org.

If you would like to learn more about this class call 207.664.7110, or email adultedinfo@ellsworthschools.org for an appointment with a student advisor.
