If you fall in the “Not yet prepared” or “Somewhat prepared” categories, you may want to do additional preparation before you take the exam.
Practice tests are intended to complement your preparation and classroom instruction. They will not fully prepare students for the actual HiSET exams.
Each practice test is approximately half the length of the HiSET exam and may not represent every type of item on the exam.
The “Well Prepared” category scores are not indicators of college and career readiness. They are meant to help provide guidance on the likelihood of a student passing the HiSET exam. Visit ets.org/tc_staff to learn how the HiSET exam reflects college and career readiness.
