There are three high school equivalency tests approved by the United States Department of Education and the NJ State Board of Education. They are the GED and HiSET. Both tests are aligned to federal Career and College Readiness Standards and designed to measure skills and concepts associated with four years of regular high school instruction. Each test is developed by adult and secondary educators and subject matter specialists. Each of the tests corresponds to the general framework of most high school curricula: writing skills, social studies, science, interpreting literature and the arts, and mathematics.
