To take the GED test in Tennessee you must be at least 17 years old. You don't need to live in Tennessee to take the GED test there. However, you must not be enrolled in a public or private high school, and you must not already have a high school diploma or high school equivalency diploma. If you are 17 years old, you can take the Tennessee GED test only if you meet special eligibility requirements. If you are 17, you must have an age waiver signed by the superintendent of your school system, not be enrolled in high school, and be enrolled in a state GED Option Program.

Don’t take the Tennessee GED test unless you’re prepared. You can pass, but if you’re like most people, you’ll need some brush-up and to get familiar with the test. Find out about GED online classes.

Tennessee GED Retesting

If you took the TN GED test and did not pass, you don't have to take the whole test again, just the parts you did not pass.
