GED vs. HiSET

Online GED and HiSET Testing

Test-takers looking to earn their California HSE diploma can now also sit for the GED or HiSET exam in an online format. Until recently, online HiSET or GED testing was no option; it simply was not available. You were required to come to an official, state-designated testing site and sit for the exams in person.

That has now changed! The GED and HiSET are now offered in an online, proctored format as well. To learn more about these developments, check out these posts: online HiSET proctored testing and for the GED exam: online proctored GED testing.
