Online Proctored HiSET and GED Exams
Taking the GED or HiSET exam over the Internet was not an option. Until recently! If you were looking to earn your high school equivalency diploma, you needed to show up in person at an official, state-designated testing site.
Well, that has changed. The GED and HiSET exams have introduced online versions now as well with the use of an online proctor. For more detailed information, check out -> The online GED exam,’ and for HiSET information, check out -> ‘The HiSET-at-Home test.’
