Here\u2019s what you need to pass the HiSET:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Score at least 8 out of 20<\/strong> on each of the five subject tests:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Language Arts \u2013 Reading<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Language Arts \u2013 Writing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mathematics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Science<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Social Studies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Earn a total combined score of 45 or higher across all five subjects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Score at least 2 out of 6 on the Language Arts \u2013 Writing essay.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>You do not need to take all subjects on the same day. You can test one at a time and keep passing scores even if you retake other sections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional Requirements by State<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond test scores, what you need to pass the HiSET may include state-specific rules. These vary but often involve:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Being at least 16 years old (some states require 18)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not being enrolled in high school<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Providing a valid government-issued ID<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Completing a prep course or orientation (in some areas)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Check your state\u2019s guidelines at hiset.ets.org before registering. Rules differ in places like New York, California, and Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Prepare<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Use official HiSET practice tests from ETS.org to gauge readiness. Focus on weak areas\u2014especially Math and Writing, which many find challenging. Study with free resources or low-cost guides aligned with current exam content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The need to pass the HiSET isn\u2019t about perfection\u2014it\u2019s about consistency. Most students pass within 2\u20133 months of regular study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bring confidence, not stress, on test day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With clear goals and the right tools, what you need to pass the HiSET is fully within reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your credential starts with meeting the standard\u2014one subject at a time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","faq-categories":[],"class_list":["post-2160","faqs","type-faqs","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What Do I Need to Pass the HiSET?
