diploma. The fee for the HiSET is $150 which includes all 5 subject area tests: Reading, Writing, Math, Science and Social Studies. The
fee to retake a failed subject area test is $20. Tests can be retaken twice in a calendar year. There is a rescheduling fee of $10 for each
HiSET test. Rescheduling can only be done in the front office at least five working days before each test rescheduled. Please bring your
original paperwork and an ID when requesting to reschedule a test. All testing fees must be paid at the Oxnard Adult School main cam-
pus in cash or credit/debit card (Visa, Master Card) only.

passport or international government ID with current picture).
To schedule an exam, you must go online to create your profile. (hiset.ets.org/test-takers)

scores may be canceled after you take the test.
