GED: Underage Testing Information
Florida statute allows GED® testing for 16 and 17 year olds so long as they have filed a formal declaration of intent to terminate school enrollment pursuant to Section 1003.21(1)(c), Florida Statutes.
When a candidate registers for the test and their date of birth indicates they are 16 or 17 years of age, they are automatically put in the Age Exception queue. Effective November 1, 2024, individuals must submit a signed and notarized underage testing form and proof of withdrawal from K-12 to the High School Equivalency (HSE) office for the Age Exception alert to be cleared and GED® tests scheduled.
Steps to Clear Age Exception:
File a formal declaration of intent to terminate school enrollment pursuant to Section 1003.21(1)(c), Florida Statutes.
