High School Equivalency Test (HiSET)

Audience

Missourians who desire a high school equivalency diploma.

Focus

The High School Equivalency Test (HiSET) measures the academic skills and concepts of a traditional high school education. A HiSET graduate has demonstrated higher-order thinking by passing a battery of tests in reading, writing, social studies, science and math. These tests measure the ability to understand and apply information; to evaluate, analyze and draw conclusions; to solve problems; and to express ideas and opinions in writing.

The HiSET program is jointly sponsored by the American Council on Education and state, provincial and territorial departments of education.
