ETS High School Equivalency Test (HiSET) has replaced the GED as Maine’s High School Equivalency Assessment. The HiSET consists of the following five subtests: Language Arts Reading, Language Arts Writing, Science, Social Studies, Mathematics. A passing score on each subject test is a scaled score of 8 out of 20, but learners must achieve a total scaled score of 45 to successfully achieve their high school equivalency diploma. Learners that achieve a scaled score of 15 or higher on each subject test are designated as College and Career Ready.

Testing is computer-based. (Paper-based testing is only available with accommodations through ETS.) There is no fee for Maine residents to prepare for and take the HiSET. We provide HiSET testing, preparation materials, pre-tests, and instruction.

Please call us 453-4200, ext. 3114 or email adulted@msad49.org.

All preparation classes during the summer session are done online due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
