HiSET exam requirements & cost
Straight from the certifying body — separate from what we charge for the study portal.
The HiSET has five subtests: Language Arts - Reading (50 questions), Mathematics (55), Science (60), Social Studies (60) and Language Arts - Writing (60 multiple-choice questions plus one essay). Each subtest is scored on a 1 to 20 scale and the essay on a 1 to 6 scale (HiSET test-taker bulletin). This portal's practice mock has 285 questions across the five subtests. To pass the full battery you need at least 8 on each of the five subtests, at least 2 out of 6 on the Language Arts - Writing essay, and at least 45 across the five subtest scores. College and career readiness is 15 or more on a subtest, and states may add their own requirements. Fees vary by state and testing site and were not confirmed here, so none is quoted. The test-taker bulletin says the test fee includes two free retests within a 12-month period. The content outline spreads questions across 16 areas; the largest are Language Arts - Reading: Informational Texts (10.5%); Science: Life Science (10.3%); Language Arts - Writing: Language Facility (9.1%). The full list of areas and weights is on the portal exam page. Minimum age and enrollment rules are set by each state (examples: 16 or older in some states, 17 or 18 in others, with waivers for younger test takers), so confirm with your state HiSET page.
