I am 17 years old and i want to know how old I have to be before I can take the ged? I also would like to know by taking the G.E.D will that still mean I can go to any college I want?

Posted - 11 February 2008 23:24 At least 18 years old. Somebody says, some colleges accept the GED certificate and some colleges do not accept it. You have to find out which college you want to apply. I used my high school diploma from my country applied to a college in the U.S., but my college also accept the GED !

Posted - 22 February 2008 13:34 If you look in the front cover of the Barrons GED Book there is a list of phone numbers for each state. You can call the number to find out the rules for your state. I know that in Michigan you have to be 18, but here in Arizona if you're parents sign a paper giving you permission to take the test and it's witnessed and signed by a notary then you can take the test at age 16+. Rules like laws vary state to state. I hope this helps...

Posted - 22 February 2008 13:46 Here in Arizona you also need a form giving the date you officially withdrew from school... Does anybody know how to go about that if you withdrew from being homeschooled? <BR>Can anybody tell me more about the GED age waiver?
