You can test on your own at 18. If you are 16 or 17, Alaska still lets you test, but you must provide a withdrawal slip from your last Alaska school, a legal emancipation document, or written permission from a parent or guardian. For an online test, a parent or guardian has to attend the pre-test check-in to authorize consent.
You cannot already hold a U.S. high-school diploma and cannot be currently enrolled in a high school at the time you test.
Alaska has no residency requirement to sit the GED. You can test in Alaska regardless of which state you live in, and the diploma is issued by the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development.
A current driver's license, state ID, U.S. military ID, or passport is accepted at every Alaska testing center. Expired IDs and school IDs are not accepted.
Both options are available statewide. Online proctored testing requires a recent 'green' score on a GED Ready practice test, a webcam-equipped computer, and a private, quiet room.
You must score at least 145 on each of the four subject tests independently. If you miss the mark on one subject, you retake only that subject — not the whole battery.
16- and 17-year-olds can test with a withdrawal slip from their last Alaska school, a legal emancipation document, or written parental permission; an online test also requires a parent or guardian at the pre-test check-in.
These are the official fees from GED Testing Service for Alaska test takers — what the test itself costs. Our prep is a separate one-time payment, with a Pass Guarantee on the Pro plan.
Charged at the testing center or online checkout.
All four subjects taken in any order, on your schedule.

Fee subsidies and free-testing programs. Confirm eligibility and current funding on the official source before you rely on one.
First attempt at each subject
Alaska pays for your first GED test in each of the four subjects while state funding lasts. Ask your test center or local adult-education program how to access it before you pay out of pocket.
The GED is run by GED Testing Service — a joint venture of Pearson and the American Council on Education — not a government agency. Fee and prep assistance is administered state by state, so it varies and you should confirm what your state offers — though much of the underlying adult-education funding is federal (WIOA Title II). Eligibility and funding change; always check the official source before relying on one.
In Alaska, free adult-education GED prep is state-funded, and for some learners that is a genuinely good fit. Here is an honest look at where it works — and where self-paced online prep works better.
Not sure which fits? The free diagnostic shows you exactly where you stand in Alaska, then you decide.
The official GED is administered at testing centers across Alaska, plus online from home through GED Testing Service. Pick a city for the local center directory.
Real Alaska students. Real diplomas. Real next chapters — nursing programs, college, the National Guard, the promotions they were capped on.
Started the practical nursing track through the Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corporation.
“Out here you fly to do almost anything, so testing online from the village was the only way this worked. I studied an hour after my kids went to bed and passed all four in about ten weeks.”
Started CDL training at UAF Community & Technical College.
“I drive a plow rig in winter and the company said I needed the diploma for the next license tier. The math lessons were short enough to fit on a break. Took me nine weeks.”
Enrolled at the University of Alaska Anchorage.
“I left high school at 17 and figured that door was shut. Alaska paid for my first sitting, so the only real cost was the prep. I start UAA in the fall.”
Promoted to crew lead at a North Slope logistics contractor.
“My supervisor told me the lead role needed a diploma on file. I studied on my two-weeks-on rotation and tested during my two-weeks-off. The raise covered the prep ten times over.”
Same four steps for everyone. Most students reach the final step in eight to fourteen weeks.
A 45-minute baseline across all four subjects produces a personal heat-map of what to study first. The plan is built from your data, not a template.
Short video lessons, then practice on the same skill the same day. The platform reorders your queue around what you miss.
Full-length, timed simulations that look and feel exactly like the official test. Three clean passes and you are ready.

Schedule the official GED through ged.com (run by GED Testing Service) at a University of Alaska campus, an adult-education program, or a Pearson VUE site — or take it online from home with live proctoring. The four subject tests can be taken in any order, on separate days. Most Alaska learners finish across two to four sittings, and you only sit the subjects you are ready for.
Yes. The Alaska GED diploma, issued by the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development, is treated the same as a high-school diploma by accredited colleges, employers, and every branch of the U.S. military. The University of Alaska system accepts it for admission, and it meets the diploma requirement for most apprenticeships and licenses in the state.
The official test is $36 per subject, or $144 for the full four-subject battery — the same price in person or online. Alaska pays for your first attempt at each subject while state funding lasts, so many learners pay nothing for the first sitting. A discounted in-person retake is $10 per subject; online retakes stay $36. The GED Ready practice test is $7.99 per subject. Our prep is a separate one-time payment.
Often, yes. Alaska lets 16- and 17-year-olds test, but you need documentation: a withdrawal slip from your last Alaska school, a legal emancipation document, or written permission from a parent or guardian. For an online test, a parent or guardian must attend the pre-test check-in to authorize consent. At 18 you can test on your own with no extra paperwork.
Yes. Online proctored testing is available statewide through GED Testing Service, which matters in a state where the nearest test center can be a flight away. You need a recent 'green' (likely-to-pass) score on a GED Ready practice test, a webcam-equipped computer, and a private, quiet room. The price is the same as in person, and the diploma issued is identical.
Most learners who study consistently for 45 to 60 minutes a day are test-ready within 8 to 14 weeks. Your day-one diagnostic shows where you actually stand, and the plan adapts from there. Alaska does not require a minimum number of prep hours, so you can move as fast as your scores allow.
No. Alaska has no residency requirement, so you can test here no matter which state you live in. The diploma is issued by the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development. If you live elsewhere and test in Alaska, the credential still carries the same weight nationwide.
Yes. The GED test in Alaska is offered in English or Spanish, in person and online — you choose at registration. Twigera prep is in English, and we recommend testing in whichever language you read and think in most comfortably. The diploma issued is identical regardless of which language you test in.
From a quiet hour after the kids are down to your name on the Alaska Department of Labor roster — most learners get there in about three months. Start with the free diagnostic and we'll map the shortest path from where you are.
