Can I take the HiSET exam on paper or computer?
- Yes. The HiSET exam is available in both computer- and paper-delivered formats in Minnesota. However, there are requirements to be eligible to take the paper-based format. The following situations are when paper-based testing is allowed:
- Anyone with approved disability accommodations. NOTE: If you have special needs that require one format or the other, contact PSI Test-Takers Accommodations for more information about requesting testing accommodations.
- Anyone with religious accommodations;
- Testing sites in corrections facilities;
- Those individuals and/or testing sites with internet accessibility issues; and
- Additional situations will be considered by MDE (the Minnesota Department of Education) and PSI on a case-by-case basis.
Test Discount in Minnesota: If you live in Minnesota, you can get the entire testing fee off each subject by entering the promo code MNHSEFREE when you schedule and pay for your HiSET subtests.
- The test discount is available to testers who:
- are paying for their own testing,
- have a Minnesota address, and
- are testing at either an approved test center or at-home (online proctored).
- Code not eligible for retakes.
- The discount is limited to not exceed $156.25 (a maximum of 5 subject test usages) per test
- When scheduling, enter the promotional code MNHSEFREE on the payment screen within the voucher field.
- This subsidy will be available as long as funds are available, and the funding is not guaranteed. There is no additional subsidy that is offered by the state; however, you can reach out to your local adult education programs or organization to see if there may be any additional assistance available.
Retesting
What to know: HiSET test takers may take each subtest a maximum of six (6) times in a calendar year.
How it works: If you take your first official HiSET subtest in the month of January and then take 5 retakes at a test center between February and November, you would not be permitted to take that subtest again until the next calendar year starting in January.
What it costs: You may retake each subtest two times over the 12 months following your first attempt by paying only the test center fee (noted above for each in-person subtest) or the at-home online proctor fee ($17.50 for each at-home subtest). You will be charged the full amount including the Test Fee when scheduling your fourth attempt within the 12 months following your first attempt.
