Is the HiSET Available in Kansas? No. Kansas does not offer the HiSET exam. The GED is the only state-approved high school equivalency test in Kansas. All employers, colleges, training programs, and the military in Kansas recognize the GED as the official path to a high school equivalency credential. The official credential is called the Kansas State High School Diploma.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kansas is among the majority of U.S. states that have standardized exclusively on the GED. The HiSET \u2014 created by ETS (Educational Testing Services) and available in approximately 20 states \u2014 is not offered or accepted in Kansas. There are no HiSET testing centers in Kansas and no state agency that issues or recognizes HiSET credentials for Kansas high school equivalency purposes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The GED in Kansas is overseen by the Kansas Board of Regents (KBOR), which provides statutory administration for high school equivalency in the State of Kansas. KBOR issues the Kansas State High School Diploma upon successful completion of the 2014 series GED exam. The GED State Administrator is Julie Clark, based in Topeka.<\/span><\/p>\n

Which States Still Offer HiSET?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Understanding the broader landscape helps if you are relocating or have family in neighboring states. Note that neighboring Missouri offers both GED and HiSET \u2014 a common source of confusion for Kansas City-area residents:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kansas City metro note: The North Kansas City School District in Missouri offers prep classes for both the GED and HiSET. Missouri residents near the Kansas City border may have access to HiSET testing, but Kansas residents who take the HiSET in Missouri would receive a Missouri credential, not a Kansas State High School Diploma. Kansas employers and institutions recognize the Kansas State High School Diploma issued through the GED.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Is the Kansas GED?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The GED (General Educational Development) test is a four-subject high school equivalency examination developed by GED Testing Service LLC, a joint venture of the American Council on Education and Pearson. In Kansas, it is administered by the Kansas Board of Regents, which issues the Kansas State High School Diploma upon successful completion.<\/span><\/p>\n

The current GED platform, introduced in 2014, emphasizes critical thinking, data analysis, and real-world application rather than rote memorization. An electronic diploma and GED Smart electronic transcript are issued by the State of Kansas via Parchment Exchange after a student passes all four subjects, and a free professionally-printed paper copy of the diploma may be requested at GED.com.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Kansas GED Retake Fee \u2014 Key Advantage<\/b><\/p>\n

      Kansas has one of the most clearly structured retake fee policies in the nation. Your first retake on any subject is only $13 \u2014 provided you retake within 12 months of your original test date. This is significantly less than the full $39 price. After one retake or if more than 12 months pass, the full price of $39 resumes. There is no waiting period for the first two retakes; a 60-day wait applies after a 3rd attempt on the same subject.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

          The Kansas Pathway to Career High School Equivalency<\/b><\/h2>\n

          Kansas offers a unique alternative credential pathway \u2014 the Pathway to Career High School Equivalency \u2014 that is distinct from the standard GED route. This is one of Kansas’s most innovative education programs and is not available in most other states.<\/span><\/p>\n

          What Is the Pathway to a Career Program?<\/b><\/h3>\n

          The Kansas Pathway to Career High School Equivalency program was designed for the busy adult who has not completed their high school education and is not currently enrolled in a high school program.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

          Unlike the standard GED (which is an exam-only pathway), this program allows a student to work toward their high school diploma while simultaneously obtaining a college certificate or credential. Upon completing all program requirements, a Kansas State High School Diploma from the Kansas Board of Regents is issued.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Pathway to Career: Admission Requirements<\/b><\/h2>\n
            \n
          • Must be currently 21 years of age or older<\/span><\/li>\n
          • Must not have been awarded a high school diploma and must not be currently enrolled in a high school program<\/span><\/li>\n
          • Must have been accepted into a Kansas Adult Education Program<\/span><\/li>\n
          • Must have declared an AO-K (Accelerating Opportunity Kansas) career pathway interest<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            HiSET vs. GED: Which Is Harder?<\/b><\/h2>\n
              \n
            • GED Math is generally considered more challenging \u2014 it includes more algebraic reasoning, functions, and data interpretation, and the format emphasizes real-world application<\/span><\/li>\n
            • HiSET covers 5 subjects vs. GED’s 4, but with lower individual passing thresholds (8\/20 vs. 145\/200) and no College Ready tiers<\/span><\/li>\n
            • The GED’s score tiers provide significant upside value \u2014 especially the College Ready + Credit tier (175+), which can save Kansas students thousands of dollars in college tuition by earning up to 10 credit hours<\/span><\/li>\n
            • For Kansas residents, the comparison is academic \u2014 the GED is the only available path. It is nationally respected, fully achievable with preparation, and offers college credit benefits that the HiSET does not<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              How to Get Your GED in Kansas: Step-by-Step<\/b><\/h2>\n

              Registration is done entirely online through GED.com. Walk-in registration at testing centers is not available. Follow these steps from official KBOR and GED.com guidance:<\/span><\/p>\n

                \n
              • Create a free account at GED.com \u2014 provide your full legal name (as it should appear on official records), date of birth, and email address. There is no fee or obligation to create your account.<\/span><\/li>\n
              • If you are 16 or 17: complete the Compulsory Attendance Disclaimer Form at your school district. Have it signed by a parent or legal guardian and school administrator. Fax to 888-975-8313 with ‘Attention GED’ on the cover sheet. Wait for email confirmation of approval before scheduling.<\/span><\/li>\n
              • Review the GED test subjects and plan your study approach. Contact your nearest Kansas Adult Education Center to enroll in free GED prep classes \u2014 this is strongly recommended for all test-takers.<\/span><\/li>\n
              • Take the GED Ready practice test ($4 at adult education centers or ~$6 online). This is optional for in-person testing but required for online testing. A ‘green’ (Likely to Pass) score is your signal to schedule the official exam.<\/span><\/li>\n
              • Log in to GED.com and schedule your subject tests: choose either an in-person Pearson VUE Testing Center or the online proctored option. Pay $39 per subject by debit or credit card when scheduling.<\/span><\/li>\n
              • On test day (in-person): bring valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID that includes your name, address, date of birth, and signature. Acceptable forms include driver’s license, state-issued ID, passport, military ID, or national\/foreign government ID. Leave phones, smart watches, notes, and food in your car.<\/span><\/li>\n
              • After passing all four subjects, download your free electronic diploma and Smart Transcript from the email sent to your GED.com account. Request a free printed diploma at GED.com. Duplicate copies cost $20.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                No Prep Class Required \u2014 But Strongly Advised<\/b><\/p>\n

                Kansas does not require you to attend GED preparation classes before testing, and no GED Ready practice test is required for in-person testing. However, KBOR and GED.com advise setting aside at least 2\u20133 months to study. Free prep classes are available at adult education centers statewide. Attending classes \u2014 especially through NexStep Alliance, WSU Tech, Washburn Tech, Butler Community College, or KCKCC \u2014 can significantly improve first-attempt pass rates.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

                How to Pass the Kansas GED Fast<\/b><\/h2>\n

                The average GED preparation time is 2 to 3 months, according to GED.com. Motivated students with focused study can pass individual subjects in 2 to 4 weeks. Here is what consistently works.<\/span><\/p>\n

                Week 1: Diagnose and target<\/b><\/td>\nTake free GED practice tests at GED.com in all four subjects to establish your baseline. Identify your 1\u20132 weakest subjects and dedicate 70% of study time there. Enroll at your nearest Kansas Adult Education Center if you have not already. Use the official GED practice questions daily.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
                Week 2: Deep subject work<\/b><\/td>\nFocus on Mathematical Reasoning (the most commonly failed GED subject). Study algebra, linear equations, graphs, and data interpretation. Begin Reasoning Through Language Arts \u2014 practice reading informational passages, identify main arguments, and draft practice essay responses.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
                Week 3: Full subject rotation + timed tests<\/b><\/td>\nTake one full timed practice test per subject. Immediately address weak areas. Practice the Extended Response essay \u2014 aim for a structured 4-paragraph argument with a clear thesis, 2\u20133 body paragraphs with text-based evidence, and a conclusion. Review all four subjects systematically.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
                Week 4: Final prep and scheduling<\/b><\/td>\nTake the GED Ready practice test ($4 at adult ed center or ~$6 online) per subject. If green, schedule that real GED exam. If not green, study the specific areas identified in your score report for 3\u20135 more days, then retest on GED Ready. Start with your strongest subject to build confidence and momentum.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

                Subject-Specific Tips<\/b><\/h3>\n

                Mathematical Reasoning<\/b><\/h4>\n

                Do not try to relearn all of high school math. Focus on the five highest-yield areas: basic arithmetic and percentages, ratios and proportions, linear equations, graphs and data interpretation, and basic geometry. Practice with and without the calculator \u2014 Part 1 of the Kansas GED Math test is calculator-free. Work through at least 30 word problems before testing. Kansas Adult Education Centers like NexStep Alliance and Washburn Tech offer math tutoring alongside their GED prep programs.<\/span><\/p>\n

                Reasoning Through Language Arts (RLA)<\/b><\/h4>\n

                You have 45 minutes to write an argumentative essay using provided source texts. Follow the 3-step process: (1) read both passages and identify the main argument, (2) outline your position with 2\u20133 pieces of text evidence, (3) write a clear introduction, 2\u20133 body paragraphs with evidence, and a conclusion. Grammar and essay organization both affect your score. Aim for at least 300 words. Write at least 3\u20134 practice essays before test day.<\/span><\/p>\n

                Science and Social Studies<\/b><\/h4>\n

                Both tests are heavily data-driven. Most questions require interpreting charts, graphs, maps, or primary source documents \u2014 not memorizing facts. Practice reading a visual (table, graph, diagram) and answering 3\u20134 related questions as a single skill. For Social Studies, practice reading historical primary sources and economic data charts. For Science, practice interpreting biology diagrams and physics graphs. This transferable data-analysis skill accounts for a large share of points on both tests.<\/span><\/p>\n

                Day-of-Test Checklist<\/b><\/h3>\n
                  \n
                • Bring valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID with your name, address, date of birth, and signature \u2014 acceptable forms include driver’s license, state-issued ID, passport, military ID, or national\/foreign government ID<\/span><\/li>\n
                • Leave your phone, smart watch, notes, food, drinks, and hats in your car \u2014 prohibited items cannot enter the testing room<\/span><\/li>\n
                • Use the scratch paper and Calculator Reference\/Formulas Sheet provided at the test center for math work<\/span><\/li>\n
                • Pace yourself \u2014 flag difficult questions and return to them rather than getting stuck<\/span><\/li>\n
                • For the Extended Response essay, spend 5 minutes outlining your argument structure before writing \u2014 planned essays consistently score higher than unplanned ones<\/span><\/li>\n
                • For online testing: complete your pre-test environment and system check at least 10 minutes before your session; have your ID ready; ensure your testing space is private and quiet<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                  ACE College Credit<\/b><\/h2>\n

                  One of the most underutilized benefits of the GED in Kansas is the potential to earn college credit through the American Council on Education (ACE) CREDIT program \u2014 available exclusively to GED graduates who score 175 or higher on any subject.<\/span><\/p>\n

                  How the ACE College Credit Works<\/b><\/h3>\n
                    \n
                  • The ACE CREDIT program has established relationships with approximately 2,000 universities and colleges nationwide that grant credit based on ACE CREDIT recommendations<\/span><\/li>\n
                  • A GED score of 175\u2013200 (College Ready + Credit) on any subject may qualify you for up to 3 college credits per subject in Math, Science, and Social Studies, and 1 credit in English \u2014 potentially up to 10 semester credit hours total if all four subjects score 175+<\/span><\/li>\n
                  • This credit can save you thousands of dollars in tuition at Kansas community colleges, Washburn University, Wichita State University, Kansas State University, University of Kansas, or any of the ~2,000 participating colleges nationwide<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                    How to Request an ACE Transcript<\/b><\/h3>\n
                      \n
                    • Contact the college to determine if they honor ACE CREDIT recommendations and which courses the credit applies to<\/span><\/li>\n
                    • Visit the ACE CREDIT website at www2.acenet.edu\/credit and request an ACE Transcript<\/span><\/li>\n
                    • The transcript request is sent to GED Testing Service for approval, and the transcript is issued and forwarded to the college<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                      Why This Matters for Kansas Adults<\/b><\/p>\n

                      If you score 175+ on Math, you could potentially start your Kansas community college or university math requirement as if you already completed Introductory Math \u2014 saving one course worth of tuition. Multiply this across subjects and you could start college with 6\u201310 credit hours already credited.<\/span><\/p>\n

                      This benefit is not available through the HiSET \u2014 it is exclusive to GED graduates who achieve the College Ready + Credit score tier.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

                          Kansas HiSET Alternative: FAQs<\/b><\/h2>\n

                          Is the HiSET available in Kansas?<\/b><\/h3>\n

                          No. Kansas does not offer the HiSET exam. The GED is the only state-approved high school equivalency test in Kansas, administered by the Kansas Board of Regents. There are no HiSET testing centers in Kansas. The official credential earned through the GED in Kansas is called the Kansas State High School Diploma.<\/span><\/p>\n

                          Can I take the GED online in Kansas?<\/b><\/h3>\n

                          Yes. Kansas supports the GED Online Proctored exam. You can take the GED from home or any quiet private space with a compatible computer, webcam, and stable internet connection.<\/span><\/p>\n

                          However, you must first take and pass the GED Ready practice test ($6 per subject online, or $4 at adult education centers) for each subject you plan to take online. The cost is the same as in-person: $39 per subject. Online retakes cost the full $39 \u2014 there is no discounted retake for online testing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                          What is the Compulsory Attendance Disclaimer process in Kansas?<\/b><\/h3>\n

                          Kansas 16 and 17-year-olds must complete a Compulsory Attendance Disclaimer Form (also called a Disenrollment Form or Exit Paperwork) at their school district before scheduling GED tests.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                          The form must be signed by a parent or legal guardian and a school administrator. Completed forms are faxed to 888-975-8313 with ‘Attention GED’ on the cover sheet \u2014 do NOT email. Once approved, an email notification is sent and the hold on the GED account is removed. You can study and take GED Ready practice tests while waiting for approval.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                          How much does the GED cost in Kansas?<\/b><\/h3>\n

                          The GED costs $39 per subject, totaling $156 for all four subjects \u2014 the same price for both in-person and online testing. The first discounted retake per subject is $13, provided you retake within 12 months of the original test.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                          After one retake or after 12 months, the full $39 resumes. No waiting period applies to the first two retakes; a 60-day wait applies after a 3rd attempt on the same subject. Duplicate transcripts and diplomas cost $20 each.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                          Is a GED considered a high school diploma in Kansas?<\/b><\/h3>\n

                          Yes. The Kansas State High School Diploma earned through the GED is legally equivalent to a traditional Kansas high school diploma. It is accepted by all Kansas employers, all KBOR-governed colleges and universities, all branches of the U.S. military, and federal agencies. The GED is accepted by 98% of U.S. colleges and universities nationwide.<\/span><\/p>\n

                          Can a 16-year-old get a GED in Kansas?<\/b><\/h3>\n

                          Yes, with the Compulsory Attendance Disclaimer process. 16 and 17-year-olds must complete the disclaimer form at their school district, have it signed by a parent or guardian and school administrator, and fax it to 888-975-8313 (Attention GED). After KBOR approves the form and emails confirmation, the account hold is removed and tests can be scheduled. Home-schooled youth use the Home School form available at kansasregents.gov.<\/span><\/p>\n

                          What is the Kansas Pathway to Career High School Equivalency?<\/b><\/h3>\n

                          What is the GED Ready practice test and do I need it in Kansas?<\/b><\/h3>\n

                          The GED Ready is an official shortened practice test designed to predict whether you are ready to pass the official GED exam. In Kansas, it is not required for in-person testing, but it is required before scheduling online testing. It costs $6 per subject online or $4 at Kansas Adult Education Centers (some centers waive the fee for enrolled students).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                          A ‘green’ (Likely to Pass) score indicates you are ready to schedule the official exam. It is the most accurate readiness predictor available and strongly recommended even for in-person test-takers.<\/span><\/p>\n

                          Can I earn college credit with my Kansas GED?<\/b><\/h3>\n

                          Yes,\u00a0 if you score 175 or higher (College Ready + Credit) on any GED subject. The ACE CREDIT program at approximately 2,000 U.S. colleges recognizes GED scores in this range for college credit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                          You can earn up to 3 credit hours in Math, 3 in Science, 3 in Social Studies, and 1 in English \u2014 up to 10 semester hours total. To apply, contact your college to confirm credit acceptance, then request an ACE Transcript at www2.acenet.edu\/credit.<\/span><\/p>\n
