LOL. The fact that you didn't know the answer to this question sort of speaks to the fact you are too young to be thinking about getting married!

There is no test that I know of except maybe a blood test depending where you live. As long as you aren't related no problem. The only other thing you may be confused with marriage courses some Churches make you take those. They are just intended to help you prepare to move to your next stage as a married couple. I know some people who were married young who have great marriages at one time everyone married young. Some don't work but, then some people who get married later don't work. You will only get what you put in back out of any relationship so if you work on your marriage it will be good. Just try not to lose touch with the person you love remember its you 2 against the world and it doesn't matter how old you are.

living with eachother before marriage increases divorse rate and you're already low for the age. Why not wait till you're both out of college. Is there a reason it has to be right away?- i know once you decide you want to get married you want to do it right away but think of what's best. Marriage is for life - is he someone that you can be with forever? and not just till you guys get bored.
Remember that you will change a lot and he will change a lot - you're not done growing.
The trick is to grow together and not aprat which is extremely hard- you may feel like giving up but the promise you make when you marry is to stay together when you feel like leaving.
Talk to a loacl pastor/church leader. they will give you some tough questions to answer but it'll be good for you and him - make sure you take pre-marriage classes.
Hope that helps a bit.
As far as your question :) ---
The only test I can think of would be the blood test - not sure the reason, only a few states still require this. When you go for pre-marriage classes they'll be able to tell you what you need to do- test/liscence/etc. to get married :)
God Bless

Other than the blood test, there is no test like they give you in school. Some religious organizations have a test, but it's not mandatory that you take them unless you want to get married in that particular church.
I don't want to come off sounding like some kind of puritan, but I suggest you finish college, if you are going to go, before you even consider living with, or marrying this fellow. I've seen too many young women in your situation that have had a "little accident" and end up dropping out of college and never go back. If he really loves you, he will wait.

Age is not the deciding factor. What determines the success of you marriage is how well you communicate. Find out the answers to the questions before you get married. Who takes care of the money? Do you plan to have children? How many? how long will you wait until you have them? (if the answer is yes) Will you both work or is someone staying home? This is only a very few of the questions you should.

There are no test required for marriage. As for marrying at such a young age or at any age there is always a possibility of the marriage not lasting. But that is only up to you and your husband as to how much you are willing to work on the marriage. As long as there is love, honesty and respect in any relationship it will out last the test of time.

HAHAH no! You may have to take a blood test in your state (you visit your doctor and they test your blood for diseases which you prove to the town clerk's office when you go for the marriage license).
Dont get married if you are still in high school. By the question you asked it shows that you are very young and not wise yet. So wait a few more years, at least until you are out of HS.
A priest (if you get married in a church) may ask you some questions and have you speak to married people about married life, etc to make sure you are ready for marriage, but that is about it.
It is expensive to get divorced though so wait a few more years!

There's no test. The only test you need to take is to question yourself if you really want to spend your entire life with this person. Getting married at a young age has a potential for failure. I'd wait.

You should try living with this guy before you decide to get married. You learn a lot about a person by living with them first before tying the knot.

I think it's a blood test. Don't rush into anything though. Wait until you get out of high school and have a way to support yourself without his help.
