Most of my students were successful in achieving their GED Diploma, even as the test has changed somewhat over the past 2 decades. Since Missouri switched to the HiSet test, I have been frustrated by the lack of preparation materials available that actually address the kinds of material covered in the HiSet Test, especially in Math. I have deep concerns about using this test as a college readiness test - I think it ignores a huge population of people who would benefit from a basic credential that shows them to be competent as employees and citizens, even if they never go to college. But that is an issue for the education planners of the state to address. I purchased 3 of the Official Guides recently and looked forward to great material to use with my students. The book is badly edited - I have found numerous mistakes and discrepancies. I was disappointed that most of the readings seem to come from early 20th century texts (possibly to avoid copyright issues) and not the contemporary texts that show up on the practice tests that ETS publishes on their website. The Math pre-test is difficult, and covers higher level math concepts and skills, that many high school graduates do not cover, unless they are in AP or honors classes. In comparison, the Math post-tests at the end of the book are similar in construction and content to the current GED math test - relatively easy - and nothing like the tests found on the ETS website. There seems to be a disconnect between the material covered in the Math section of the book and the post-test. I was disappointed that a credible and prestigious testing organization as ETS purports to be, could present such a shoddy product for educators. I will certainly not be wasting any more time and money on the ETS HiSet products, until I can see that they are taking their responsibilities educators and students more seriously. Look elsewhere for prep materials. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Great for Math poor for Social Studies or Science *by J*** on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 9, 2015* I am using this book to tutor three young adults for the HISET. Parts of the book are well done, and other portions offer almost no real help. The math section is good. There are clearly written explanations of the topics that will be covered. The practice questions look well written. I haven't worked in the English section as much yet. What I have looked at seemed well written and sufficient to help someone understand how to answer the questions. I am VERY disappointed in the Social Studies and Science sections. Each subsection has a list of terms, people, ideas, periods that students should know and 15 practice questions. Those lists are sometimes 2-3 pages long. I have spent hours preparing basic information for each word on the lists. Maybe it would benefit the students to do this research themselves, but why did the book provide the information for English and math, but not for the other subjects. If math is your weakness, and you have access to a computer, this would be a good study tool. If you are a poor reader, or don't have the patience or ability to research a wide variety of topics, good luck. Unfortunately, I haven't found anything designed for tutoring the HISET that is better in these subjects. At least it does tell you what you should research. ### ⭐⭐⭐ ETS needs to come out with a better book *by A***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 3, 2016* I purchased this book to help me prepare for the HiSet. I purchased it after already passing the Reading,Writing, Social Studies I used it briefly for the scienceM all of which I passed...... My main reason on wanting this book was to help me on the MATH portion of the HiSet. Although it did help me "brush up" on things that I hadn't done for 30 years, the majority of the practice questions were not close to what was on the actual test.I've read the other reviews, some from instructors (jimbo) and I agree with everything they say I strongly disagree that it is the most reliable and accurate guide to the test. Not even the questions that are on the interactive practice test were very similar to what I found on the actual exam..Would I purchase again? Most likely, because it can still help you get "the basics", and all math problems will help you "learn", but I feel what helped me pass more then anything was youtube video's. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/13328610-the-official-guide-to-the-hiset-exam-1st-edition](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/13328610-the-official-guide-to-the-hiset-exam-1st-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
