Truth About GED® Testing Online
Some alternative high school diplomas are available online, but the GED Tests and the GED credential are not.
Compulsory Age Requirement
In 2009, the state legislature passed Omnibus Bill 291, changing the Compulsory Age Requirement for school attendance from 16 to 17, effective August 28, 2009. As a consequence, the State Board of Education has modified the requirements for GED Testing. Seventeen year-olds who have dropped out of school may take the test.
Only 16-year-olds who have successfully completed 16 units of credit toward high school graduation and have written permission from the superintendent or principal of the school last attended reflecting compliance are eligible to test. If homeschooled, only those 16-year-olds who have met the requirements of Section 167.031 RSMO for course instruction and have written permission of the parent or legal guardian indicating compliance, are eligible.
