As a sort of a follow-up of my other question (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Al6YpaoYJCIDB7EzAKDzZTnsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071120154346AAOuak9), this one relates but it isn't necessary at all for you to read the other one in order to answer this one.
Question: Are there any exceptions to the rule of having to be 16 to take the GED? Is there a test very similar to it that has a lower age requirement? I'm thirteen years old, by the way. I know someone who took their GED (and passed) at either 14 or 15, but the age requirement being 16 now puzzles me because of that.
If I don't get any answers here (or even if I do), I'll definitely ask that person about it.
Thank you so much!

WHY?!?!?!?
When you are under the age of 16, you must - BY LAW - be enrolled in some form of school...
The GED (or "Good Enough Diploma") is meant for ADULTS who were unable to finish High School for whatever reason (dropping out, poor grades, forced to find a job to support the family, etc.)
It is NOT a "Get out of High School Early" diploma - it is ONLY a LAST RESORT option for those who REQUIRE a High School education in order to qualify for either a job or College/University acceptance ;););)

have you ever dropped out yet? in case you dropped out earlier the regulation grew to become 18 to drop out, you would be waiting to do a "grandfather clause." A application corresponding to Gateway to college may well be waiting that may assist you. communicate over with them or your intense college counselor or education counselor for help. additionally, look into Simons Rock college of Bard. it's going to permit you depart intense college and bypass get a school practise.
