How to Get a GED in Texas

Listen up, Texas residents. You can earn your GED credential in Texas as long as you’re not a current high school student or a previous graduate. You must also be at least 18 years old. You will need a parent or guardian’s permission if you’re younger. In some cases, a 16-year-old may need a court order to get their GED. No one under 16 can take the test. Eligible Texans must take their test in a computer-based format. This can be either online or at an official GED test center. If you are 21 or older, you can apply for financial aid and receive vouchers. While it’s not mandatory to attend preparatory classes, it is recommended. This will help you score high enough on the GED Ready official practice test to qualify for the exam itself. First, you will need to sign up for a free account. Follow these step-by-step instructions. If you already have an account with us, log into that account now to get started. Everyone with passing scores will receive a Texas Certificate of High School Equivalency (TxCHSE). This diploma means you have achieved the same level of knowledge as any other high school graduate in Texas. Most students need 2-3 months to study and successfully prepare for this exam.
