GED Utah

If you’re planning to earn your GED in Utah, you’re taking an important step toward advancing your education and career. Whether you want to qualify for a new job, pursue college, or complete a personal milestone, earning your GED (General Educational Development) credential can help open the door to new opportunities.

In Utah, the GED is the official test for high school equivalency. It is accepted by colleges, employers, and training programs across the country as a valid alternative to a traditional high school diploma. This section of GEDNow.info provides a complete overview of how the GED process works in Utah—from eligibility and test registration to preparation and next steps after passing.

To be eligible to take the GED in Utah, you must be at least 16 years old and officially withdrawn from high school. Students aged 16 or 17 must also meet additional state requirements, including submitting a school withdrawal form, obtaining parental consent, and receiving approval through Utah’s adult education system.

The GED exam covers four subjects: Reasoning Through Language Arts, Mathematical Reasoning, Science, and Social Studies. You can take all the sections at once or one at a time—whichever suits your pace and preparation level.

Utah offers both in-person and online GED testing options. If you choose to test online, you’ll need to first score “green” on the official GED Ready practice test for each subject and ensure your computer setup meets the technical requirements for remote proctoring. In-person GED testing is widely available through adult education centers, community colleges, and testing centers across the state.
