What does the pre-test look like?

 

The Nicaea High School Equivalency (HSET Pretest)

Understanding the basics

Applicants for the Nicaea Academy High School Equivalency Test (HSET) are required to successfully complete the pretest.  The pretest consists of 25 questions each in the of the same subject areas that covered in the final examination.  These include Faith-Life Skills, Language Arts, Reading, Basic Mathematics, History-Social Studies, and Science.    

Why do I have to take a pretest?

The pre-test is intended to: 

1. Evaluate the student's current academic knowledge in comparison to the what is required to pass the final test

2. Assist the student in identifying those areas in which additional study may be required, and

3. Serve as a practice examination to give the student an accurate idea of what to expect on the final test.

 

What will the pre-test look like?

 

The HSET pre-test will contain the same types of questions that will be on the final HSET test.  There is no time limit for this test.

Taking an official Pre-HSET test gives you a similar testing experience, so not only will you be familiar with the type of questions used, but you'll also have a better idea as to what to expect when it comes time to take the actual examination.
