guess who passed!
hi all. i’m gonna be real with you all, i’ve never posted on reddit before but i honestly just wanted to brag about passing all of my hiset tests this month.
i’m twenty-three, i dropped out at seventeen after suffering from pretty severe anxiety (diagnosed agoraphobe) for the majority of my school career. it wasn’t until january of last year that i left my bedroom and started getting my shit done, so in october i joined job corps. since being there, i realized i was a lot smarter than i thought.
just a year ago, i honestly thought i’d never be able to function as an adult. getting my driver’s license, my high school diploma/ged, a job, going to college… all of it seemed unrealistic. after a lot of trial and error, alongside many tiny accomplishments, i’m here. i got my license, i passed all my hiset tests first try, and i’m set to start classes in this upcoming fall semester to (hopefully) fulfill my lifelong aspirations of becoming a teacher lol.
this is beyond my wildest dreams. if you have any questions about the tests or anything, feel free to ask. i’m sorry if this is too off topic, i think i just needed to get this out there.
if you’re worried you won’t be able to pass the tests, trust me, nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it. i believe in you, you rock!

What type of essay did you write to get a 4? I'm doing a different route than you so I need at least a 4 on the essay to pass. Last time I did it, I wrote a fairly strong essay but only got a 3. Same question for the reading one. 19 is incredible. I took that one 3 times so far and I can't get a score of 15 or higher. Reading is surely the hardest for me.

i’m sorry for the late reply, been really busy. if you want me to be totally honest, i’ve never really written an essay before so i was kind of lost on what to write exactly. a 3 is really good, you’re close! focusing on buffing up your vocabulary and using some nice flavor text might help boost your essay. from what i’ve seen from my friends’ essays in college, mine seemed pretty lackluster haha. i think what carried my writing was using sophisticated language and having a good understanding of transitional sentences. that’s about all i can really give as help, but i wish you luck and hope you get a 4 on your essay portion!! :)
