High School Equivalency Testing

HiSET and GED Testing Center

In addition to offering preparation classes, we guide students through the test registration process and help them find test times that fit their schedules. Our Adult Education Testing Center administers both the GED and the HiSET exams. Regardless of which exam is chosen, an official Nevada Certificate of High School Equivalency is awarded upon passing. This certificate is honored nationwide. 

In Nevada, testers have an option to take and pass either the GED or the HiSET exam to earn the High School Equivalency credential. for more information about the differences between the two exams. Click here for the differences between the GED and HiSET
