Salish Kootenai College's Department of Academic Success offers HiSET Prep at no cost to students. The HiSET® exam is a test Montana uses to measure high school equivalency skills in Language Arts: Reading/Writing, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies.

We encourage students to explore our Prep program and the variety of free resources to help familiarize them with both the exam questions and the computer-delivered testing experience. Our resources includes the online HiSET®Academy, the only home study course 100% approved by the HiSET Exam. Our HiSET practice tests will help ensure passing the exam the first time. Study can be done onsite with scheduled sessions and/or on mobile devises anytime a student has a few extra minutes on their own time. Prepaid test vouchers are also available to those HiSET Prep participants who qualify.

After they have passed the HiSET exam, the Montana Office of Public Instruction will issue high school equivalency credentials confirming that their skills and knowledge are on the same level as a traditional high school graduate.
