Fine tune your reading and writing skills for your HiSET testing. In class, you'll build on the skills you have to fully develop your reading comprehension and writing skills to pass the HiSET tests. (There are five tests total to pass the HiSET.)
In all of our HiSET classes, we discuss and practice test taking strategies and overcoming test anxiety.
The HiSET Reading test includes a variety of non-fiction, informational texts. Test questions focus on reading comprehension, interpretation, and analysis. In class, we target skills for identifying main ideas, supporting details, organizational styles, and vocabulary. Class discussions will help develop your skills in interpreting different writing styles.
A few more details about the HiSET Reading test: it is 65 minutes - this is the shortest HiSET test. There are 50 multiple-choice questions.
The HiSET Writing test requires you to write an essay and answer multiple choice questions centered on editing and revising sentences. The multiple-choice section includes spelling, grammar, punctuation, and sentence organization.
Whether you think of yourself of a beginner writer or an accomplished writer, we can help you fine tune your writing for HiSET success. We focus on the writing process: developing your thoughts, creating a draft, editing, and revising. As you edit your writing, you will also review rules of writing for the multiple-choice section of the test.
A few more details of the HiSET Writing test: 120 minutes (2 hours) to complete 60 multiple choice questions and write an argumentative essay. The essay requires you to respond to a question by giving your opinion based on two opposing articles.
