HiSET Math
with Megan McOsker, RSU 24 Adult Education
Learn new math skills and brush up on the basics in order to pass the HiSET Math test. Working with your instructor, you can target any gaps in your math knowledge, as you build skills for the HiSET test.
The HiSET math test includes: number operations, measurement, geometry, data analysis, probability, and algebra. In addition to math skills, we focus on test taking skills and breaking down math and test anxiety.
In addition to daytime classes, we have open labs day and evenings when you can also meet with teachers and tutors.
A little about the HiSET math test:
The HiSET math test is 50 multiple choice questions; you have 90 minutes to complete the test. We provide a calculator, a formula sheet, and scrap paper and pencils. You can take the HiSET on paper or on the computer. Most people prefer taking the test on computer. You receive your score immediately on the computer. It can take up to two weeks to get your scores if you take the test on paper.
All students take practice tests before taking the official HiSET tests; there is no cost for taking the HiSET in Maine.
This class is for our high school completion program. Please contact us for registration information @ 207-422-4794.
