In Minnesota, the Tests of General Educational Development—commonly known as the GED® tests or simply GED, provide individuals who do not have a high school diploma the opportunity to earn a State of Minnesota GED Diploma. The five tests in the GED battery measure academic competencies similar to many of those required of a Minnesota high school graduate. 

Who May Take the GED Test?

• Individuals who are not currently enrolled in high school and do not have a high school diploma; and
• Are at least 19 years of age OR at least 16 years of age and have obtained an Age Waiver (see form below);
• Are Minnesota residents; and
• Have a valid, current, government-issued, photo ID such as a driver’s license or Minnesota ID card.

There is a fee to take the GED test. Additional information about specific circumstances related to the test, including how to prepare for the GED, available test accomondations and an overview, can be found in the Frequently Asked Questions document.

Warning Regarding Misleading GED Claims
The State of Minnesota GED Diploma can be neither earned nor obtained via the Internet or through correspondence programs. The Tests of General Educational Development developed by the GED Testing Service® often require extensive preparation and/or the demonstration of a high level of high school knowledge and academic skills. Tests are administered only at official GED Testing Centers under the direction of the Minnesota Department of Education. Any other GED diploma or “high school equivalency certificate” not issued by the Minnesota Department of Education may not be accepted by employers, colleges and universities or the military.
