Who is eligible to take the GED® test?

You may take the GED® test if:

• You are not enrolled in high school
• You have not graduated from high school
• You are at least 16 years old
• You meet state, provincial, or territorial requirements regarding age, residency, and the length of time since leaving school

If you are considering leaving high school, the GED Testing Service recommends that you first meet with your high school counselor to talk seriously about your decision and the level of academic skill needed to pass the GED® test.
