The High School Equivalency Test (HiSET) is an assessment designed for individuals who did not complete high school. It measures knowledge and skills in subjects such as mathematics, reading, writing, science, and social studies. Passing the HiSET provides a credential equivalent to a high school diploma, which can enhance job opportunities and access to further education. The test is available in both paper and computer formats, allowing flexibility for test-takers. Many states offer the HiSET as an alternative to other equivalency tests, such as the GED (General Educational Development) test. Preparation resources are widely available to help candidates succeed.
