Take The Ged

ECept Education > Continuing Education

Q. I wonder if that is different in different states? It is something I don't really understand since many states allow kids to drop out of high school at 16, so why not allow them to take the GED if they are ready?

A. It seems to depend on the state. In order to take the test if you are under 19, in Ohio, for example, you must have an application completed by the superintendent of schools where you attended last (or I guess by a parent if you are homeschooled). You must have been officially withdrawn from school and the superintendent must say whether or not they believe the test is in your best interest at this time or not in your best interest. Colorado law states that persons between the ages of 16 and 17 may take the GED Tests only when they provide a completed age waiver application and a letter from a university, college, or post-secondary vocational program. The letter must identify the applicant and state that the candidate is required to have a GED or high school diploma in order to be admitted to a specific program or to receive financial aid. The letter must be written on letterhead stationery and be submitted with the age waiver application to the State GED Office. Wyoming's General Educational Development (GED) testing centers are responsible for administering the high school equivalency tests to: adults age 18 and over, 17 year-olds can take the GED after approval of an official GED age waiver, 16 year-olds can take the GED if they are court-ordered to do so.
