Don’t spoil your trip to a higher altitude - condition your body first. People often feel shortness of breath, lightheaded and fatigued at higher altitudes because their bodies work harder, while taking in less oxygen. Anxiety increases, your enjoyment decreases. You’ll have more energy, feel better and enjoy your trip when you condition your body first to increase oxygenation and endurance. Do the same preparation that elite athletes do with this 4-week, self-paced course at home, even if you live at sea level. You will receive a link and a code for this class after you have registered and paid.

(formally known as GED) The HiSET diploma consists of five tests: reading, writing, math, science and social studies. Passing these tests demonstrates academic knowledge and academic skills levels equivalent to a high school diploma. We offer small group instruction in person, online or hybrid instruction to support learners to achieve this credential. Coursework is customized based upon the individual’s needs.

The HiSET is designed as a test of the knowledge and skills developed in high school. There are five individual tests, covering material on a range of subjects including English, Writing, Math, Social Studies and Science.

Reach out to us for an informal meeting with our student advisor to find out what to expect on the HISET, how to interpret questions, options for studying to pass the tests, and essential strategies, including test taking skills. After meeting with the advisor, when you are ready, perhaps even the same day, you can start taking the practice tests. Then your advisor will help you make a plan to pass the HiSET test and earn a diploma that will open doors for you. We also offer career advising to all our HiSET students.

People often ask how long it will take and it's impossible to predict until we meet with you and you take some assessments. It takes courage for most people to make the connection with us, but our staff is respectful, patient, kind and competent. They have a lot of experience assisting people to prepare for the HiSET, and/or developing a plan that best meets learner goals.

HiSET practice and official testing are available daytime and evening hours weekly throughout the year. A schedule of test dates is available at our learning center and on our website: www.ellsworth.maineadulted.org.

If you would like to learn more about this class call 207.664.7110, or email adultedinfo@ellsworthschools.org for an appointment with a student advisor.
