The GED must be done entirely on a computer and has four separate subtests (modules) in
- Science
- Math

Online GED, HiSET Testing
You can now take the GED and HiSET exams online as well. Until recently, if you were looking to earn a GED, you needed to come, in person, to an official California GED testing center.
Well, that has all changed! The GED and HiSET exams are now also offered online with a proctor who will check if everything goes in line with some rather strict regulations. To learn more, check out the following pages: ‘The online GED test,’ and for HiSET testing: ‘The online HiSET test.’
