Age Waiver for General Educational Development (GED® Testing)
Everyone who takes the GED® Battery in Minnesota must first create an online account using the GED Testing
Service’s® website. Seventeen- and 18-year- olds in Minnesota must obtain an age waiver before they will be able
to test.
Those age 17 and 18 will be directed to this document and form to apply for an age waiver. The age waiver
process must be completed before the online account creation/registration can be completed. Once your age
waiver application is sent and approved by GED staff at the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE), they will
approve it on the GED Testing Service website but only if you have created an account there. You will then receive
an email instructing you to continue with registration, scheduling, and payment on that site.
Note: If you began taking the 2014 GED® tests in another state, you will have to change your profile on the site to
indicate your intention to test in Minnesota. Even if the other state didn’t require an age waiver, if you are under
the age of 19, you will need to obtain an age waiver to test in Minnesota.
Age waiver applicants must not be enrolled in high school and must meet at least one of the following six
conditions to qualify for an age waiver:
1. You have been dropped from your school’s attendance rolls for at least one full calendar year.
2. Your high school class has graduated.
3. An employer indicates on signed/dated letterhead that you must successfully complete the GED Battery
to qualify for employment.
4. A postsecondary institution or financial aid office indicates on signed/dated letterhead that you must
successfully complete the GED Battery to qualify for acceptance or to begin the financial aid process.
5. The military indicates on signed/dated letterhead that you must successfully complete the GED Battery to
qualify for acceptance.
6. An Adult Basic Education (ABE) program or other recognized educational (includes home schools), social
service, or correctional agency indicated that successful completion of the GED Test Battery is a part of
your written individual learning plan, and provided signed/dated documentation showing you have, under
the supervision of a proctor, earned a minimum score on both an approved reading and math test:
a. Reading: Earned at least a 145 on the GED Ready® RLA subtest; at least a 617 on the Reading TABE
11/12 (Form A); or at least a 249 on the CASAS GOALS Reading; and
b. Math: Earned at least a 145 on the GED Ready® Math subtest; at least a 617 on the Math TABE 11/12
(Form A); or at least a 231 on the CASAS GOALS Math.
You are allowed to mix and match GED Ready, TABE, and CASAS GOALS subtests. For example, you may submit a
qualifying math score from GED Ready with a qualifying TABE reading score.
Almost all Adult Basic Education (ABE) Programs in Minnesota provide proctoring for those seeking age waivers.
Some may have other requirements or charge a fee. They may also be able to provide financial help to reduce the
cost of the tests. To locate an ABE program in Minnesota, call 800-222-1990 or search the Adult Literacy Hotline
(https://hotline.mnabe.org/).

General Information about Completing the Age Waiver Application Process
Age waiver applicants must use the official General Educational Development (GED®) Tests Age Waiver
Application form available at the end of this document. Instructions for completing it are provided below.
Do not alter the form in any way or it will be rejected.
Completed forms may be returned to the Minnesota GED Office in any of the following ways:
• Email a scanned copy to alice.smith@state.mn.us
• Mail to: GED Testing/Minnesota Department of Education, 1500 Highway 36 West, Roseville, MN 55113-
4266.
• Fax: 651-582-8458
• Drop form off in person at the Minnesota Department of Education in Roseville.
Application Instructions:
1. Create an online GED® account (https://ged.com).
2. Please type or print legibly when completing the age waiver application. This will help eliminate misspellings
and the need to resubmit the application.
3. Complete all items.
4. Make sure you meet at least one of the six eligibility criteria. It is not necessary to indicate more than one
even if you qualify for more.
5. Criteria 1 and 2 require verification of the information by authorized school personnel. (For instance, a school
official could complete the Total Years Completed and Date Dropped on the application form. That same
official could also fill out the Agency Information and sign/date the form.) Alternatively, if someone from an
ABE program, other educational entity like a home school, social service agency, correctional facility,
recruiter’s office or some other qualified person helps the applicant, he/she may contact the school to verify
the information and then sign and date the application. It is important that names, numbers and signatures be
legible in case the Department of Education’s GED personnel need to contact a signer or listed school staff
person.
6. If the applicant is under the age of 18, a parent or guardian must acknowledge the information provided by
also signing and dating the form.
7. When an application has been approved by the Minnesota Department of Education’s GED Testing Office, our
staff will look for the applicant’s account at the secure GED Testing Service site to approve it there. Approved
account holders will be notified by email that they may continue with their registration, scheduling, payment,
etc. The approval process can’t be completed until the applicant creates an online GED® account
(https://ged.com).
Applicant Identification Information:
• The applicant should complete the first two lines (name, birth date, email, home address, city, state, ZIP
code, and phone number).
• School personnel must provide the Total Years of Formal Schooling Completed (last grade) and the Date
Dropped from Attendance Rolls.
• An “agency” person (for example, Adult Basic Education Program administrator, teacher, a qualified K-12
school person, a correctional program administrator, qualified military recruiting staff person,
postsecondary institution, home school parent) may contact a school official to verify/confirm the last
grade completed and the date dropped and then fill in the information on the application. The agency
person may also supply the method for verifying the applicant’s age and may sign and date the form.

Agency Information: This section can be completed entirely by the agency person. An agency is often an Adult
Basic Education (ABE) Program but it could be the last school attended or the district office. An agency person is
one who is in a position to verify your last date of attendance and last grade completed.
Qualifying Condition for Age Waiver: Please mark only one.
Parent/Guardian Signature and Date: Only required if applicant is under 18 years of age (or over 18 but under the
care of a guardian/ conservator).
Verification of Information: The responsible agency authority must sign and date the form. The name of the
agency must be included. If the applicant is applying for condition for approval #6, the ABE program staff or
official proctor of the reading and math tests must complete this section. If the agency is a home school, the
parent or other authorized staff must sign/date and complete this portion of the application form.
