If you did not earn your high school diploma, taking the HISET (High School Equivalency Test) earns you an equivalent diploma. There are five sections to the computer-based test (Math, Reading, Writing, Social Studies and Science) and our classes help you prepare to take and successfully pass all five tests.  Students are given pre-tests to determine whether or not you are ready to take the actual Official Tests or may need some preparation work. You must meet for an Intake Session before starting a diploma program. All Official Tests are administered in Scarborough by appointment only.
