California State High School Equivalency Eligibility Requirements

  • You must be a resident of California.
  • You cannot be enrolled in an accredited high school or be a high school graduate.
  • You must be 18 years of age. However, you can take the test at 17 if you meet additional requirements. 
  • Cost: GED: $28.75 (per subject); $115 (all subjects). HiSET: $17 (per subject); $85 (all subjects).
  • Passing score: GED: 145 (minimum) in each subject. HiSET: 8 in each subtest, combined score of 45; minimum of 2 on the Language Arts, Writing essay. 
  • Accommodations: GED: You must apply for disability accommodations through the GED Testing Service page. HiSET: Find out about disability accommodations and fill out your HiSET Accommodations Request Form. 
  • After you pass the test, the State of California will award you a high school equivalency certificate that will show you have achieved the same level of knowledge as a high school graduate.

Below you’ll find answers to the questions we get asked the most about how to get a high school equivalency in California.

Yes. In fact, GED Academy is the only home study course that is 100% approved by the GED Testing Service. Watch this short video about GED Academy to find out why. This is why over 2.4 million people have used GED Academy to get their GED credential. It's fast, easy, and simple on your mobile phone too.

If you're like many Americans, you're probably wondering: How can I get my GED or HiSET fast? Well, the good news is that earning your GED or HiSETcertificate is easier than you think. The sooner you start, the sooner you can meet your goals.

Take the steps one at a time.

  1. Check Your Eligibility: Every state has its own test eligibility requirements. You can find California's requirements here.
  2. Learn the Material: Study for the GED or HiSET test. You can study on your own, in a local prep classroom, or online.
  3. Practice the Material: Establish a quiet study space. Focus your study with a guides or online classes. Check your learning with practice tests.
  4. Register: When you're ready, schedule your test online.
  5. Take the Test: On test day, bring a non-expired, government-issued photo ID. All personal items must remain outside of the testing area.

After you pass the test, the State of California will award you a GED or HiSET certificate that will show you have achieved the same level of knowledge as a high school graduate. 

How long does it take to go through GED classes?

It varies by student, but here at GED Academy most students complete their coursework in about three months.

I didn't pass. How many times can you take the GED?

Some states have individual policies about retaking the test, but generally you can take the test about three times a year. Don't worry, you won't have to retake any subjects you passed previously.

What you should know:

  • You should be familiar with math concepts, measurements, equations, and applying math concepts to solve real-life problems.
  • You don’t have to memorize formulas and will be given a formula sheet in the test center as well as on the screen in the test.
  • Essential Education offers a free practice test for math that will help you assess your readiness for the test.
  • GED Academy gives you all the math you need to study at one affordable price.

The GED testing service offers an official GED practice test for $6 per subject. Essential Education offers a free online HSE practice test for GED prep. We also offer a free HiSET online practice test for HiSET prep as well. You can take our free practice test in one subject, several subjects, or all of the subjects.

There are two high school equivalency exams given in California: GED and HiSET. Both are equivalent to a high school diploma, and are accepted at 99% of colleges. You can go on to get a great job, get a degree, or join the military with a California HiSET or California GED.
