1. Read the passage, then answer the question. For years the Eastside branch library lent only books and movies. Last spring it began lending power drills, ladders and sewing machines, each checked out with a library card like any novel. The librarian expected a handful of curious borrowers. By June, forty people were on the waiting list for the pressure washer alone, and the branch has since doubled the size of its tool shelf. Which conclusion is best supported by the passage?
- A. Most residents have stopped borrowing books
- B. Demand for borrowing tools was higher than the library expected
- C. The library plans to stop lending movies
- D. The pressure washer is the most expensive tool the library owns
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: B. Demand for borrowing tools was higher than the library expected
The librarian expected only a few borrowers, then a forty-person waiting list appeared and the shelf doubled, so demand clearly beat the expectation. Nothing in the passage says anything about fewer book loans, ending movie loans or what the tools cost.
2. The new supervisor's feedback was candid: she told the crew plainly that the last two jobs had run over budget and exactly why. As used in the sentence, candid most nearly means:
- A. Frank
- B. Hidden
- C. Gentle
- D. Delayed
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: A. Frank
The sentence defines the word for you: she spoke plainly and said exactly why. That is frank, honest speech. Gentle is the tempting wrong answer, but nothing in the sentence says she softened the message.
3. Read the excerpt, then answer the question. Dana checked the address on her phone for the third time, smoothed her jacket and checked it again. The receptionist smiled and asked her to take a seat. Dana sat on the very edge of the chair, her folder pressed flat against her knees, and counted the ceiling tiles while she waited for her name. Which details show that Dana is nervous?
Vælg alle, der passer.
- A. She checks the address again and again
- B. The receptionist smiles at her
- C. She sits on the very edge of the chair
- D. She counts the ceiling tiles while she waits
- E. She is wearing a jacket
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: A. She checks the address again and again, C. She sits on the very edge of the chair, D. She counts the ceiling tiles while she waits
Rechecking something she already knows, perching on the edge of the seat and counting tiles to fill the wait are all actions that show tension without naming it. The receptionist's smile describes someone else, and the jacket is a plain detail that says nothing about how Dana feels.
4. Walking to the bus stop, the rain soaked my backpack. Which revision fixes the error in this sentence?
- A. Walking to the bus stop, my backpack was soaked by the rain.
- B. Walking to the bus stop the rain soaked, my backpack.
- C. While I was walking to the bus stop, the rain soaked my backpack.
- D. The rain soaked my backpack, walking to the bus stop.
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: C. While I was walking to the bus stop, the rain soaked my backpack.
The opening phrase describes someone walking, but the word right after the comma is rain, so the sentence says the rain was walking. Naming the walker in a full clause fixes it. Making the backpack the subject leaves the same problem, because a backpack cannot walk either.
5. Choose the word or phrase that best connects the two sentences.
The clinic added evening hours on weekdays. _____, patients who work during the day can now get an appointment without missing a shift.
Muligheder for felt 1: However, As a result, For example, Nevertheless
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: As a result
The second sentence describes what happened because of the first, so the link is cause and effect. However and nevertheless signal a contrast, and for example would introduce an instance of the first idea, which the second sentence is not.
6. Which of these sentences use apostrophes correctly?
Vælg alle, der passer.
- A. The children's coats hung by the door.
- B. Its been raining since noon.
- C. Both teams' buses arrived late.
- D. The company changed it's logo last year.
- E. My sister's car needs new tires.
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: A. The children's coats hung by the door., C. Both teams' buses arrived late., E. My sister's car needs new tires.
Children's, teams' and sister's all show possession, and a plural ending in s takes the apostrophe after the s. The two errors are the classic its and it's swap: it's always means it is or it has, so the rain sentence needs It's and the logo sentence needs its.
7. A phone plan costs a flat $25 per month plus $0.10 for each text message. Which expression gives the monthly cost, in dollars, for t text messages?
- A. 25t + 0.10
- B. (25 + 0.10)t
- C. 0.10 - 25t
- D. 25 + 0.10t
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: D. 25 + 0.10t
The flat fee is paid once no matter how many texts you send, so it stands alone, and only the per-text charge is multiplied by t. Writing 25t would charge the monthly fee once for every text.
8. Complete the sentence.
The mean of four test scores is 82. Three of the scores are 78, 85 and 80, so the fourth score is _____.
Muligheder for felt 1: 82, 84, 85, 87
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: 85
A mean of 82 across four scores means they add up to 4 times 82, which is 328. The three known scores add up to 243, and 328 minus 243 is 85. Picking 82 is the usual trap, since it assumes the missing score must equal the average.
9. A cup holds 6 black pens, 4 blue pens and 2 red pens. You pick one pen without looking. What is the probability that it is not black?
- A. 1/6
- B. 1/3
- C. 1/2
- D. 2/3
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: C. 1/2
There are 12 pens, and 6 of them are not black, so the probability is 6 out of 12, which simplifies to 1/2. The 1/3 answer counts only the blue pens and forgets the red ones.
10. A student wants to test whether the amount of sunlight affects how tall bean plants grow. She will give different plants different hours of light. Which of these should she keep the same for every plant?
Vælg alle, der passer.
- A. The type of bean
- B. The amount of water each plant gets
- C. The hours of sunlight each plant gets
- D. The size of the pot
- E. The height each plant reaches
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: A. The type of bean, B. The amount of water each plant gets, D. The size of the pot
In a fair test only one thing is changed on purpose, here the hours of light. Everything else that could affect growth, such as the variety, the water and the pot, has to stay the same so the result can be traced to the light. The final height is what she measures, so it is the outcome, not something she controls.
11. In the food chain grass, then grasshopper, then frog, then hawk, which organism is the primary consumer?
- A. Grasshopper
- B. Grass
- C. Frog
- D. Hawk
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: A. Grasshopper
A primary consumer is the first animal in the chain, the one that eats the producer directly. Grass is the producer because it makes its own food from sunlight, the frog is a secondary consumer and the hawk sits at the top.
12. Complete the sentence.
When an ice cube melts into liquid water, it _____ heat energy from its surroundings.
Muligheder for felt 1: absorbs, releases, destroys, creates
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: absorbs
Melting needs energy to loosen the bonds that hold water molecules in a solid, and that energy is pulled in as heat from the air or the drink around the ice. That is why ice cools a glass. Energy is never created or destroyed, only moved, which rules out the last two choices.
13. Under the US Constitution, which power is shared by the federal government and the state governments?
- A. Printing money
- B. Issuing driver's licenses
- C. Making treaties with other countries
- D. Collecting taxes
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: D. Collecting taxes
Taxing is a concurrent power, which is why most people pay both federal and state taxes. Printing money and making treaties belong to the federal government alone, and licensing drivers is a power the states keep for themselves.
14. The table shows the population of a small town. 1990: 12,000 2000: 15,000 2010: 18,000 2020: 19,500 Which statement is supported by the table?
- A. The town grew in every decade, but growth slowed after 2010
- B. The town's population doubled between 1990 and 2020
- C. The town grew by the same amount in every decade
- D. The town lost people between 2010 and 2020
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: A. The town grew in every decade, but growth slowed after 2010
The town added 3,000 people in each of the first two decades and only 1,500 in the last one, so it kept growing but more slowly. Doubling from 12,000 would mean 24,000, and the population never fell at any point in the table.
15. When a government spends more money than it collects in taxes during one year, the shortfall is called:
- A. A surplus
- B. A deficit
- C. A tariff
- D. A dividend
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: B. A deficit
A deficit is the gap in a single year when spending is higher than revenue, and the debt is what builds up when deficits pile up over many years. A surplus is the opposite case, and a tariff is a tax on imported goods.
Hvad HiSET indeholder
HiSET er en amerikansk prøve, der giver et bevis svarende til en high school-eksamen. Den består af fem separate delprøver, og du kan tage dem i den rækkefølge, du vil. Ifølge hiset.org tager Language Arts Reading 65 minutter (80 minutter på spansk), Language Arts Writing tager 120 minutter og indeholder ét essay, Mathematics tager 90 minutter og tillader lommeregner, Science tager 80 minutter, og Social Studies tager 70 minutter. Bortset fra essayet er næsten hvert spørgsmål multiple choice. Prøven tilbydes på engelsk og spansk, på papir eller på computer, og afhængigt af din delstat på et testcenter eller hjemme med en online eksamensvagt.
Hver delprøve scores ud af 20. Den officielle side beskriver standardreglen for at bestå som mindst 8 ud af 20 på hver delprøve, mindst 2 ud af 6 på essayet og en samlet score på mindst 45 for alle fem. Den siger også klart, at den delstat, du går op i, bestemmer minimumskravene for beviset, og nogle delstater lægger mere oveni, for eksempel en højere score eller en samfundsprøve. Læs din egen delstats regler på hiset.org, før du planlægger efter et tal, også tallene på denne side.
Din delstat bestemmer også, hvilken ækvivalensprøve du overhovedet kan tage. Nogle delstater tilbyder HiSET, nogle tilbyder GED, og nogle tilbyder begge. Tjek det, før du køber en eksamensbog, for de to prøver er bygget forskelligt.
HiSET eller GED, og sådan bruger du smagsprøven
HiSET og GED dækker det samme stof, men formen er forskellig. HiSET deler sprogfagene op i en separat læseprøve og en separat skriveprøve, så den har fem dele, hvor GED har fire, og den scorer hver del ud af 20, hvor GED bruger en skala fra 100 til 200. Ingen af dem er bare den sværeste. Tilbydes begge, hvor du bor, så vælg den, hvis format passer dig, og er du allerede i gang med den ene, er det som regel bedre at gøre den færdig end at skifte.
De 15 spørgsmål samler alle fem delprøver i ét stræk, hvilket den rigtige prøve aldrig gør. Det gør den her til et tjek af bredden, ikke en øveeksamen. Den er god til at finde dit svageste fag og det fag, du nok kan tage først. Den er alt for kort til at forudsige en score på en enkelt delprøve.
Tag den uden noter. Prøv matematikken uden lommeregner, selvom den rigtige matematikprøve tillader en, for så kan du skelne en fejl i opstillingen fra en regnefejl, og de kræver forskellige løsninger. Læs så hver forklaring, også dem til spørgsmål, du svarede rigtigt på, for et heldigt gæt skjuler et hul. Samler dine fejl sig om spørgsmålene med tekster og diagrammer, er det én færdighed, der viser sig på tværs af flere delprøver, og den er værd at arbejde med først.
Sådan bygger du flere øveprøver ud fra dit eget materiale
Femten spørgsmål kan vise dig, hvilken delprøve der kræver arbejde. De kan ikke gøre dig klar alene, og en generisk spørgsmålsbank ved ikke, hvad dit hold i voksenundervisningen har gennemgået, eller hvilke delprøver du allerede har bestået.
StudyPDF tager i stedet udgangspunkt i dit materiale. Upload din HiSET-eksamensbog, det udleverede materiale fra dit hold, dine noter eller et kapitel, du bliver ved med at læse igen. Tryk derefter på Nyt materiale, vælg en øveprøve, vælg de filer som kilder, og bestem, hvor lang den skal være. Du får en prøve skrevet ud fra præcis de sider, og hver forklaring henviser til, hvor svaret kommer fra. Lav en ny, når du vil, eller snævr den ind til én delprøve eller ét emne, du bliver ved med at ramme forkert.
Bo er tutoren til resten. Spørg ham, hvorfor et svar er rigtigt, så forklarer han det ud fra dine egne sider, med et hint først, hvis du vil have et.
Du behøver ikke uploade noget for at komme i gang. Nævn i stedet et emne, for eksempel lineære ligninger, kommaregler eller vandets kredsløb, så får du en øveprøve om det med de samme forklaringer. Det er gratis at starte.
