Two Options for High School Equivalency
GED and HiSET Exams
These tests provide a valid means of measuring the educational achievement of adults who are non-high school graduates and compare their academic competence with that of high school graduates. The following requirements are needed to qualify for the diploma:
- A minimum test score must be met for either the GED® or HiSET® Tests:
- GED®: A score of 145 out of 200 will be required on each of the 4 subtests (Reasoning Through Language Arts, Mathematical Reasoning, Science and Social Studies).
- HiSET®: A score of 8 out of 20 is required on each of the 5 subtests (Language Arts – Reading, Language Arts – Writing, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies) and a score of 2 out of 6 on the Essay.
- Minimum 1⁄2 credit from an accredited private/public high school in Hawaii or from one of the Hawaii Community Schools for Adults.
- An official transcript from an accredited Hawaii High or Community school.
- If you are under 18 years of age, you will need to provide additional documentation before being approved to register for the test. Contact our school for more information.
