You can test on your own at 18. If you are 16 or 17, Delaware still lets you test, but you must submit a written age-waiver application to the Delaware Department of Education showing good cause for testing early, plus age verification, proof of school withdrawal, and a school transcript. For an online test, a parent or guardian must attend the pre-test check-in to give 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.
Delaware lets you test if you live in Delaware — or, if you live in another state, if you are actively employed in Delaware or registered with a Delaware Department of Labor program. That covers most people who commute into the state for work. The diploma is issued by the Delaware Department of Education.
A current driver's license, state ID, U.S. military ID, or passport is accepted at every Delaware 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 an approved written age waiver from the Delaware Department of Education (good cause, age verification, proof of school withdrawal, and a transcript); 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 Delaware 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.

In Delaware, 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 Delaware, then you decide.
Real Delaware students. Real diplomas. Real next chapters — nursing programs, college, the National Guard, the promotions they were capped on.
Enlisted in the Air Force at Dover AFB.
“The recruiter was clear: no diploma, no contract. The science section scared me most, so that's where I started. I tested in person at the Terry Campus and shipped out that summer.”
Enrolled in the nursing pathway at Delaware Tech Owens Campus.
“I have two kids and a job at a poultry plant, so a classroom schedule was never going to happen. Online prep at night and an online test from my kitchen made it real. I start clinicals in the fall.”
Moved into a maintenance-tech role at a Sussex County plant.
“I'd been on the line for six years with no way up. My shift lead said the diploma was the only thing in my way. I gave it an hour a night for two and a half months and got the bump.”
Started a patient-care technician program at Delaware Technical Community College.
“ChristianaCare was hiring, but every posting wanted a diploma. I studied on the bus to work and at lunch. Eight weeks later I had all four subjects done and an interview lined up.”
Same four steps for everyone. Most students reach the final step in eight to fourteen weeks.
A 30-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 at a center, or online from home where your state allows it. Pass in any order, on your timeline. Your state mails the diploma.

Schedule the official GED through ged.com (run by GED Testing Service) at a Delaware Technical Community College campus 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 Delaware learners finish across two to four sittings, and you only sit the subjects you are ready for.
Yes. The Delaware GED diploma, issued by the Delaware Department of Education, is treated the same as a high-school diploma by accredited colleges, employers, and every branch of the U.S. military. Delaware Technical Community College and the University of Delaware accept 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, and among the lowest fees in the country. A discounted in-person retake is $10 per subject; online retakes stay $36. The GED Ready practice test is $7.99 per subject. Many adult-education programs offer free prep classes, which are separate from the test fees. Our prep is a separate one-time payment.
Sometimes. Delaware allows 16- and 17-year-olds to test, but you must submit a written age-waiver application to the Delaware Department of Education showing good cause for testing early, along with age verification, proof of school withdrawal, and a school transcript. For an online test, a parent or guardian must attend the pre-test check-in. At 18, you can test on your own with no waiver.
Yes. Online proctored testing is available statewide through GED Testing Service. 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. Delaware does not require a minimum number of prep hours, so you can move as fast as your scores allow.
Not necessarily. You qualify if you live in Delaware, or — if you live in another state — if you are actively employed in Delaware or registered with a Delaware Department of Labor program. That covers most people who commute into the state for work. The diploma is issued by the Delaware Department of Education.
Yes. The GED test in Delaware 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 45 minutes after the kids go down to your name on the Delaware Department of Education 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.
