To qualify for GED testing in Texas, you must be at least 18 years old and live in the state of Texas. You must not be enrolled in school, and you must not be a high school graduate. You also need to have a government-issued photo ID, such as a state driver license, military ID, passport, or U.S. passport card. You may be able to take the test at 17 if you also have a parent or guardian’s permission, and you may be able to take the test at 16 if you are in the care of a state agency, under a court order, or in a Job Corps training program.

Don’t take the Texas 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.

Texas GED: College Eligibility

More than 60 percent of GED test-takers plan to go on to college. The GED exam can help you get there. Ninety-eight percent of colleges and universities in the U.S. accept the GED credential, though some colleges require additional tests, such as the SAT or the ACE. Check with the admissions offices of the colleges you’re interested in for their requirements. Beware of online high school degrees that colleges won’t accept.

Texas GED Retesting

If you don’t get at least 410 on each of your GED tests, then you will need to wait 6 months to take the test again. You can get an exception, if you get a Retest Letter from a Texas-certified private GED tutor or GED program teacher that says you’re prepared for the test. Before you test again, go back and study, to make sure that you’re prepared.
