Official Practice Tests  

We provide Official Practice Tests (OPTs) for use by approved adult education and literacy programs. These OPTs are restricted (i.e., sequestered) from public access and cannot be purchased directly by test takers.

  • Each OPT is approximately half the length of the actual HiSET subtest and includes new test questions with rationales, test directions, an answer key, and an answer sheet. New full-length official practice tests are in development. While passages may overlap, the items associated with the passages are unique to each test. The majority of the test items on current practice tests are unique.
  • Paper-based versions can be purchased by using the link below. Alternatively, computer-based versions of the OPTs are available through Essential Education. You can also download the Math Formulas Sheets.

“Are You Ready?” Results Score Ranges

Help your test takers gauge their exam readiness with the “Are You Ready?” Results Score Ranges. The Score Ranges provides preparedness ranges from “Not yet prepared” to “Well prepared” so that your test taker can see where more practice is required to have the most successful outcome on their HiSET exam.
