Who is eligible?
Any adult (18 years or older) without a high school diploma who is a resident of Texas and not enrolled in school is eligible to take the tests. If you are not 18, the following applies:
A person who is 17 years old is eligible if he or she is not enrolled in school, has Official Withdrawal forms and a parent or legal guardian is present to sign a Parental Consent form. A person who is 16 years old is eligible if ordered by a municipal court settling a truancy case.
What if I don’t pass?
If you don’t pass all the tests the first time, you may take one or more of the tests again. In order to be eligible for re-testing you must take a GED Preparation Course or have a certified instructor tutor you. The instructor must give written notice stating that you are prepared to re-test. If you choose not to take a preparation course, then you must wait six months before you are eligible to re-test.
