Three Rivers College will host the HiSET® High School Equivalency Test in Dexter this September. The exam will be offered at Three Rivers College’s Dexter location on Saturday, September 15, from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. The registration period for this test closes on September 13. Three Rivers – Dexter is located at 515A W. Market, Dexter.

 "Three Rivers’ campus in Poplar Bluff normally offers the HiSET® test one Saturday each month", said Diane Patterson, Coordinator of Testing & Assessment at Three Rivers College. "We're offering this so that people in surrounding areas can have a chance to take the HiSET® closer to home."

The HiSET® is an online test taken at a certified test center. Tests cover writing, essay, math, science, social studies, and reading. Once the test has been scheduled, it must be completed in its entirety within a 12-month period.  The cost of the test is $20 per subtest, which allows each subtest to be taken a total of three times. A $7 testing fee per subtest is required each time. The test can only be taken three times in a calendar year.

Those interested in taking the test should go to hiset.ets.org to register, pay, and schedule the test. Everything is completed online at this website. The only thing the testing center is responsible for is administering the test.

Those interested in taking HiSET® classes before the test should call the Poplar Bluff Adult Education and Literacy (AEL) Center at 573-785-2248, between the hours of 8 a.m. and noon Monday through Thursday, for more information, or to locate an AEL center near you.

"Students are not required to take classes before taking the test, but it could be beneficial in passing the test the first time around," said Patterson. “There is an abundance of information on the hiset.ets.org website, including overview of tests, practice tests, and how to create your account.”
