I need to know some things about getting a GED. Like how old you have to be and do you have to pay for it. I'm 17 and I'm not going to finish high school this year cuz I'm short 2.5 credits in two subjects. I wanna go off to college when all my friends do this fall and its seems like this is the only way. I also do not wanna go to summer school because I have very committed plans for the summer. And info will help me greatly thanks =] ps. I just want info. I don't need anyone slaming me about me choice.

It depends on what state you call home. In my state, you have to be 19 or have been dropped out of school for at least 12 months. Search online for your state name and GED.
There may be other alternatives, could you talk to your school counselor?

You need to be at least 18 and have left school for at least a year to take the GED test. You'll need to go to summer school otherwise you won't go to college this fall.
Starting college next January isn't that bad either. You'll be only slightly behind your friends. So you have those two choices: summer school or delay a semester. Neither is perfect isn't it?

My advice in getting a GED is getting on the internet log on to your home town website and sometimes there is places in your city to get your GED for free.
