This section of GEDNow.info is dedicated to helping Colorado residents understand the GED process from start to finish. We cover everything you need to know: who’s eligible, how to prepare, where to take the test, and how to take advantage of local support and study options.

To take the GED in Colorado, you must be at least 17 years old and officially withdrawn from high school. If you’re 16, you may still be eligible under special circumstances with an approved waiver. The GED exam includes four main subject areas—Mathematics, Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies—which you can take all at once or individually over time.

Colorado offers both in-person and online GED testing, each with specific requirements. If you plan to take the GED test online, you must first score “green” on the GED Ready practice test for each subject and meet the technical requirements for an online proctoring session. In-person testing is available at many adult education centers and official GED testing sites across the state.
