High School Equivalency (HSE) Testing
Wake Technical Community College is presently offering the GED® (published by GED Testing Service®) and HiSET® (published by Educational Testing Services) High School Equivalency assessments. The two current assessments will cover the same content areas and allow test-takers to demonstrate proficiency and the academic skills expected by employers and post-secondary institutions.
Passing either of the two assessments in North Carolina will result in the issuance of a High School Equivalency Diploma by the North Carolina State Board of Community Colleges.
