HiSET Practice Tests

Updated for 2027. The single best way to prepare for the HiSET® on test day is to sit two full batteries under real timed conditions, with answer keys that actually teach. This book delivers exactly that — two complete HiSET batteries covering all five subtests (Reasoning Through Language Arts — Reading, Reasoning Through Language Arts — Writing including the essay, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies), built to ETS HiSET length and timing, with every answer explained.

Each battery matches the real HiSET exam: Reading is 50 multiple-choice items in 65 minutes; Writing is a single 120-minute block with Part 1 (60 multiple-choice items) plus a Part 2 argumentative essay using two source passages; Mathematics is 55 items in 90 minutes (calculator allowed); Science is 60 items in 80 minutes; Social Studies is 60 items in 70 minutes. That's 570+ practice questions, 2 essay prompts with annotated model responses, across 2 full simulations — calibrated to ETS difficulty without copying any official item.

The answer keys are not score sheets — they are mini-lessons. For every item: correct answer, the work or the passage evidence behind it, why each wrong answer is wrong, and a one-line takeaway. The essay section comes with a scoring guide aligned to the ETS 6-point rubric, plus annotated model responses so you can score your own honestly. A built-in self-scoring guide with raw-score readiness bands lets you compare Battery 1 to Battery 2 and pinpoint exactly which content areas need more study before test day.

This book pairs with the five AceMark HiSET subject guides: study a subject, then face it under timed pressure here. Or use this book as a diagnostic before you start studying to find your weak subtests. Either way, on test day, you will have already done this twice. 100% original content — zero overlap with ETS published items. Written for adult learners. HiSET® is a registered trademark of ETS.
