The GED® exam has four individual sub-tests in
- Language
- Math
- Science
- Social Studies
These independent modules (sub-exams) can be completed one or more at a time and in any order.
The HiSET® exam has individual reading and writing tests (so five overall) that can also be taken separately.

Online GED, HiSET Testing
Taking the GED or HiSET exam online was until recently, not an option. The tests were just not offered online. To earn your high school equivalency diploma in Illinois, you were required to come to an official testing site.
Well, that has changed. The GED and HiSET exams are now also offered online in proctored versions. To learn more, check out: ‘The online GED exam,’ and for HiSET information, go to ‘The online HiSET exam.’
