The assessment number (also known as an ASAP ID number) is needed when you attend your High School Equivalency Orientation. Your assessment (ASAP ID) number is required for your HSE Orientation and for your initial assessment test in reading and math. Returning students who already have an ASAP ID number can go directly to step 3.
Step 3: Attend HSE In-person Orientation & Complete Assessment Exams
New students must attend a “Live” HSE Orientation held on Zoom to learn about the program and to be able to register for classes.
Complete your Reading and Math Assessment (practice) Exams.
HSE assessment evaluations in Reading and Math are held every Tuesday and Wednesday from 9am to 6pm by appointment. The two practice Reading and Math tests will take about an hour each to complete. These are initial practice exams to help you determine your readiness and amount of preparation support needed to pass the official HiSET® or GED state exam. Please Note: You will need to use a Windows, Mac, Chromebook computer or an iPad to begin testing.
