Most testing sites have reopened and are now available to test following strict safety guidelines. This includes mask requirements and reduced capacity to ensure social distancing. In order to find test sites open near you and schedule a test at an official test center, please visit the vendor websites www.GED.com; www.hiset.ets.org.
Additionally, GED® and HiSET® offer a remote (at home) proctored testing option to Massachusetts candidates. To schedule an exam at home, visit the vendor websites: Introducing the Official Online GED Test - GED; HiSET Exam at Home.
If you have questions you may send an email to HSET@mass.gov with your name and phone number and someone will call you back with information.
Note to Spanish-language Testers: If you wish to take the test in Spanish, it is very important that you schedule tests only at a test center that offers Spanish-language testing since you are not allowed to take some subtests in Spanish and some subtests in English.
