Can i get my GED at age 16?

Question

Hey, I am just turning 16 and was looking into getting a ged. I heard from some people that as soon as i am ready for the test, i go to take it and get my GED if i pass it. From others I have heard that I have to pass the test, and then wait until I would be in my senior year of highschool to actually get the GED. How does it work?

Answer 1

yes you can...legal age to drop out of school is 16 so that being the case you can apply to take your ged at that age although i do believe that you still wont be able to get a drivers license if you drop out

Answer 2

Depends on your circumstances, like if you're an emancipated minor. Typically you have to wait until you're 18, but don't think that a GED is the easy way out. Unless you have a college degree, your GED will do nothing but make you look bad.

Answer 3

Yes...some places you can do it at your own high school. I'm not sure when you actually get teh GED (at what age)
