HiSET Pretesting (GED)

Free
Calendar Jan 1, 2024

If you're an adult without a high school diploma, the High School Equivalency Test (HiSET™) could be your route to improved career prospects, further education, and increased earnings potential. HiSET™ replaces the GED in Maine.

HiSET™ provides adults with the opportunity to obtain a high school equivalency certification with the same legal standing as a high school diploma. Through a pre-testing, preparation, and testing program, it allows test-takers to demonstrate proficiency in the academic skills and knowledge expected by employers and post-secondary institutions. HiSET™ consists of five subtests:

Language arts- Reading

Language Arts- Writing

Mathematics

Science

Social Studies

Once enrolled, students take and pass the Official HiSET Practice Test then schedule the tests at one of our testing locations (Machias, Calais, and for members of the Passamaquoddy tribe at Indian Township). In most cases, the full battery of tests are not given on the same day. Call our office to schedule the exams.

You must be at least 17 years old to take the HISET Exams and need an ID the day of the exam/s. Call/email our office to set up an appointment: info@wcadulteducation.com or 207-255-4917
