Information for Home Schooled Applicants

Home schooled students sometimes take the GED Tests as a way to demonstrate a high school credential for colleges or employers. A home schooled student who is 18 or older may register for the GED at any local testing center.  
 
A home schooled student who is 16 or 17 may seek approval for GED Testing from an official of the organization that oversees the student’s home schooling—the local school district, the Department of Education, or a private school. Use GED Referral Form 3 to obtain approval. Students under 18 must have completed their home schooling program and must demonstrate that they have passed GED Official Practice Tests.
