GED testing provides an opportunity for individuals to demonstrate they have acquired the learning outcomes expected of a high school graduate and to be awarded a Commonwealth Secondary School Diploma.
The minimum age for testing is 18 years. Applicants between 16 and 18 years of age may qualify for GED testing upon the issuance of a court order or at the written request of one of the following:
- an employer for the applicant who must establish high school equivalency for job opportunities;
- a college or university official who will consider acceptance of the applicant on the basis of GED test scores;
- a recruiting official for persons who wish to enter a branch of the Armed Forces for which high school equivalency is a prerequisite;
- the director of a state institution for residents, patients, or inmates, no earlier than 90 days before anticipated release or discharge from the institution.
Candidates for testing may not be enrolled in a public, licensed private, registered accredited or licensed nonpublic secondary school.
