It seems to depend on the state.
In order to take the test if you are under 19, in Ohio, for example,
you must have an application completed by the superintendent
of schools where you attended last (or I guess by a parent if you
are homeschooled). You must have been officially withdrawn
from school and the superintendent must say whether or not they
believe the test is in your best interest at this time or not in your
best interest.
Colorado law states that persons between the ages of 16 and
17 may take the GED Tests only when they provide a completed
age waiver application and a letter from a university, college, or
post-secondary vocational program. The letter must identify the
applicant and state that the candidate is required to have a GED
or high school diploma in order to be admitted to a specific
program or to receive financial aid. The letter must be written
on letterhead stationery and be submitted with the age waiver
application to the State GED Office.
Wyoming's General Educational Development (GED) testing
centers are responsible for administering the high school
equivalency tests to: adults age 18 and over, 17 year-olds
can take the GED after approval of an official GED age waiver,
16 year-olds can take the GED if they are court-ordered to
do so.
