r/HiSET

Heyy, so I’m not sure yet when I’m going to take my HISET test because I’m honestly really nervous about not passing. I know it’s normal to feel this way, but I’m especially worried about the essay/writing section.
English is not my first language. I can understand it pretty well when I read or listen, but when it comes to writing essays, I struggle a lot. It’s like I know the words when I see them, but I can’t always remember them when I need to write. I also feel like my vocabulary is limited when I try to express my ideas.
Also, in the school where I studied before, we didn’t really do science reports, so I’m not familiar with that kind of writing either, and that makes me nervous too.
Does anyone else feel this way or went through something similar? How did you improve your writing for the HISET?
Any tips for:
• Expanding vocabulary (especially for essays)
• Structuring essays more easily
• Writing science reports or explaining scientific topics clearly
• Practicing writing in English as a non-native speaker
• Managing anxiety before the test
I’d really appreciate any advice or resources that helped you. Thank you:)!

Im taking my math test for cpp next week and the reading and writing the week after. i am taking them online. does anyone know it takes for them to be graded? is it instant or do i have to wait?

UPDATE

I PASSED!!! So thankful to God and proud of myself!! I finally did it. I'm a graduate!! Next stop Nursing school.

To anyone taking this test. There was a lot of algebra and data/statistics and some geometry. I really credit light and salt learning, get sum math and purely persistent on YouTube for helping me learn and catch up on what I was missing.

Don't give up, keep going. You got this!!

Taking my last test tomorrow (Math) I've been working at passing my HiSet on/off since 2022 and after a lot of trauma in-between decided to get serious about it the last 6 months. I've passed everything but Math and I am so nervous! If anyone could please say a prayer or good vibes or even any last minute tips that would be great!

My goal is to pass so I can enter summer classes and finish by the fall so I can enter nursing school in January.

Thanks xx

I took HiSet math fives times and failed. Failed with a 3/8 on the first three and 7/8 on the last two. I take it again at the end of June, any tips on how to pass this time.

Hii everyone, I'm taking the CPP next year and I'm curious about the math on the test! Is it simple Algebra 1(w/o recursive formulas or integrals) along with geo, data, etc? I'm just curious abt the math topics on there. (This is for those who have took the HiSET/CPP before) tysm!<3

Any YouTube pages, websites or platforms would be helpful

Ya’ll I passed all HISET’s and one thing about me is I’m HORRIBLE at math like really bad I passed because of God that’s why all glory to God. God is so good to me. I had seven minutes left on the test I prayed the entire seven minutes I studied like a lot but I was still shaking the entire test and I said if I pass then it will because of God and I did.

Also the other test they are pretty easy it’s kinda read the question and you will get the answer

I took the math test and recieved a 19/20. Obviously I am very happy with this grade, but this made me wonder how the hiset grading even works. there are 55 questions on the test, and 19/20 would be around 52/55, and i know for a fact i did not get that many correct.

So how does it work? I am asking because now i am studying for the reading and writing tests, and I want to get an idea of how prepared i am.
