HiSET (formerly GED)

The State of Montana now recognizes the HiSET model by Educational Testing Services as the accepted high school equivalency test. The GED test is no longer administered. HiSET is a computerized testing system.

The State of Montana has agreed to recognize GED scores for individuals who passed parts of the GED Test but not the full battery of five tests prior to January 2014. These GED scores will be accepted for a period of one year (January – December 2014). Beginning January 2015, test candidates will have to take all five tests to obtain high school equivalency within Montana.

FPCC has been designated as a computer-based testing site by the State of Montana and is located in the James E. Shanley Library in Poplar, MT once a month. Currently any potential student can receive tutoring and information in the Hi-Set classroom located downstairs at the War Eagle Vision building located in Poplar, MT.

The cost of the test will depend on which tests the candidate registers for, with the full battery of tests (5) costing $75.00. This $75.00 allows for up to two free retakes on tests not passed within a one-year time period. To take a HiSET test, individuals need to do the following:

1. Go online to http://hiset.org to register and to pay by credit card for the test in advance. If test takers do not have a credit card, FPCC allows payment with a money order made out to FPCC. Assistance is available for registering online.
2. Potential test takers need to register at least 72 hours in advance. The test dates will be made available on the website or call for more information.
