How old do you have to be to take a GED test in Ohio?

Answer 1

GED Age Requirements To take the Ohio GED test, you must be officially withdrawn from school and be 19 years of age or older. Exceptions to the age requirement may be granted if:

You are 18 years of age -

Have the Superintendent (or designee) of the school district where you last attended (or the district where you live) complete and sign the GED Age Waiver Form. Attach it to your paper application or to the confirmation page from your online application.

You are 18 years of age AND your class has graduated -

Attach an Official School Transcript to your application to show that your class has graduated. If you have been sworn into active military service in one of the armed forces, attach a sworn statement to your application giving the date of the swearing-in ceremony. (Delayed entry candidates do not qualify.)

You are at least 16 years of age, but less than 18 years of age -

The Superintendent (or designee) of the school district where you last attended (or the district where you live) must complete and sign the GED Age Waiver Form. A parent, guardian or court official must sign the GED Parental Consent Form. Attach both forms to your paper application or to the confirmation page from your online application.

16; you have to register prior to taking the GED and obtain parent/guardian signatures on a registration form. I'm not sure where this form is made available, but you could probably look online with Ohio's State Dept. of Education.

I took it when i was 15, so it's mainly grade-based. Usually Sophmores take it in the spring...
