| Calculator Use for HiSET |
| . |
The HiSET test is designed so that test-takers do not have to use calculators. However, there is an onscreen calculator embedded into the test. Alternatively, upon your request, a basic four-function physical calculator (+, -, x, ÷) will be provided for the entire math section of the HiSET. You may not use your own calculator; you may not use your cell phone's calculator.

| Writing subtest score |
| 5 |
The HiSET Writing subtest consists of 2 parts—one part with multiple-choice questions, the other consisting of an essay question. (Three sheets of physical scratch paper are provided by the test center for writing a draft of the essay, if the test taker chooses to do so. The written-up and any blank scratch paper must be returned to the test center administrator on conclusion of testing.) The maximum total score on the combined two parts of the Writing subtest is 20, with a minimum score of 8 needed to Pass this subtest. The essay counts for up to 6 of the 20 points, with a minimum of 2 required for passing the entire subtest. (The essay is scored by humans, not computers. Each reader awards a score of up to 6; if there is a discrepancy in their scores, a third person reads the essay, and the three readers determine the score.)
Example A:
You score 4 on the essay. So you need a minimum of 4 on the multiple choice in order to achieve the required 8 (out of 20) on the combined essay and multiple choice which comprise the Writing subtest.
Example B:
You score 1 on the essay. You cannot pass the Writing subtest, regardless of how you did on the multiple choice, since a minimum of 2 is required on the essay portion. |
