High School Equivalency & High School Diploma

The HiSET ® test is a high school equivalency test that measures the academic knowledge relative to that of a high school graduate. The exam covers five areas: Reading, Writing, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science.

The HiSET is available to Missouri residents at least 16 years old and out of high school. Missouri does not have any test preparation or instruction requirements to take the initial test. However, they do encourage instruction before retesting. You must present identification on test day at the HiSET test center. Outdated or expired identification will not be accepted.
