Geometry Formulas You Need to Know for the HiSET® Math Test

The HiSET® test is so straightforward that it gives you a formula chart to use during the test Here at Union Test Prep, we have a sneak peek of what you’ll see on that formula chart, but you’ll probably need a little extra assistance, as well. There are more equations applicable in this test than the ones on the “official” formula chart you’ll be given during the test. So, in the following chart, you’ll find the Geometry formulas that won’t be given to you but that you need to know for the HiSET® Math Test.

We also have two other charts of formulas that are not given to you during the test and a preview of the chart of formulas you will be given during the HiSET Math Test session.
