    General Information

    The Massachusetts High School Equivalency credential is issued by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to those who have passed all subjects in the HiSET exam, the GED exam, or a combination of both exams.

    Candidates start by creating an account at HISET.org and/or GED.com.   Regular testing appointments are self-scheduled in your account.  Test scores will be posted in your account, as soon as they are available.

    Candidates also need to create an account with Diploma Sender. All test scores, from both Vendors, are posted there.  Upon successful completion of all subject tests, you will be able to order your official credential and a copy of your transcript from Diploma Sender.  

    Voucher Codes

    The Commonwealth of Massachusetts will pay for a candidate's HiSET or GED test for up to three attempts per subject.  A "No Show" counts as an attempt.
