Look it up on your County School District for locations. It is required now in my state to have to take the study corse at an adult night school and now they have added calculus to the test.
They have made it twice as hard to pass a GED test than it was ten years ago.
All else fails go to your local Community college..they can help you as well.

the short answer is to study a bunch of different subjects-math, science, government-while you're working a low paying, strenuous job and then take the ged test. oh, wait...studying a bunch of different subjects...that's high school!
Frankly if you try to take the GED at 15 or 16 the testing centers might very well ask you why you're not in school? More than likely you'll have to take night school courses just to prep for the GED test.
Seriously, if at all possible, stay in school. Dropping out costs people around you and affects the economy. Plus it makes you ignorant, unable to get a decent paying job, and really limits your options. Why would you consider trying to operate in society anyway with just an 8th grade education? There are practically no jobs that will take you with a junior high education. This is the 21st century, dude. You need computer skills, math skills, and literacy to even have a chance to compete.

Jason - good question. They will probably require you to take some preparatory classes that get you ready for taking the GED test. These classes are designed to make sure that you pass the test with the least trouble. Then again, it is sometimes possible to just take the test so you could also ask them about that. Your writing appears pretty good with some grammatical mistakes - but not really as bad as some can get on answers so it looks like you are far ahead of the game even after stopping in 7th to 8th grade. Go for it - I would hire you.

You can take GED courses and study. I don't know how much you know so it's difficult to gauge. If you really want it and learn quickly then you could take the test next year and pass. It's really an easy test but that is subjective...Good Luck

When you're ready to pass the tests, you take the tests. When you've passed the last one, you're done.
How long it takes depends on how much you have to learn, and how difficult learning is for you. Judging by your grammar, spelling, etc... you're ahead of many people on here that claim to have an education.
We're pulling for you!

Study hard. Practice the essay. Read. Comprehesion is key.
