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.
