Set by GED Testing Service and the IndianaDepartment of Education. Verify on official sources before your test date — rules change.
Indiana requires test takers to be at least 18 to test on their own. A 16- or 17-year-old may test with a completed school exit form and a superintendent, principal, or designee recommendation on file.
Applicants cannot already hold a U.S. high school diploma and cannot be currently enrolled in an Indiana high school at the time of testing.
You must have lived in Indiana for at least 30 days before testing. A lease, utility bill, phone bill, or bank statement is accepted as proof of residency.
A current Indiana driver's license, state ID, U.S. military ID, or passport is accepted at every testing center. Expired IDs and school IDs are not accepted.
Indiana suspended the online proctored (OnVUE) GED option on July 1, 2025, so you test in person at an approved Indiana center. At-home testing remains only for learners enrolled in an Indiana adult-education program who qualify for modified conditions. The GED test is available in English or Spanish.
You must score at least 145 on each of the four subject tests independently. Subjects can be retaken one at a time without re-doing the others.
16- and 17-year-olds test with a completed school exit form and a superintendent, principal, or designee recommendation on file.

Official sourceThe 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 Indiana, 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.

Real Indiana students. Real diplomas. Real next chapters — nursing programs, college, the National Guard, the promotions they were capped on.
Started a Practical Nursing program at Ivy Tech Community College.
“The state covered my test cost, so prep was the only spend. I studied about forty minutes a night for ten weeks and passed all four at the Ivy Tech center near me.”
Enrolled at Ivy Tech for an advanced manufacturing certificate.
“I only failed math the first time, by a few points. Redid just that one subject at the center and started classes the next term. The retake fee was about ten dollars.”
Promoted to team lead at a logistics warehouse.
“I tested in Spanish because that is how I read fastest. Same diploma. My supervisor moved me up the month after I showed him.”
Joined the Indiana Army National Guard.
“The recruiter said no diploma, no slot. I studied two months on my phone during breaks and scored above the cutoff on every section. Signed the next month.”
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.

Schedule the official GED through ged.com (run by GED Testing Service) at an approved in-person center — Ivy Tech Community College campuses host the largest testing footprint in Indiana.

Yes. The Indiana High School Equivalency Diploma is treated identically to an Indiana high-school diploma by every accredited college, every employer, and every branch of the U.S. military. It is issued by the Indiana Department of Workforce Development after you pass all four sections.
Indiana caps the full test at $144 or less, and that covers the tests, scoring, transcripts, and the diploma. Better still: through June 30, 2026, the state fully covers the test cost for eligible test takers under the HSE Test Remittance Program, so your out-of-pocket cost can be $0 while funding lasts. Discounted in-person retakes run about $10 per subject. Our prep is a separate one-time payment.
Sometimes. Indiana generally requires test takers to be 18, but a 16- or 17-year-old can test with a completed school exit form and a superintendent, principal, or designee recommendation on file. Start with a local adult-education program or your school to complete the exit form before you register.
Not as a general option. Indiana suspended the online proctored (OnVUE) GED on July 1, 2025, so you test in person at an approved center. At-home testing remains only for learners enrolled in an Indiana adult-education program who qualify for modified conditions. You can still prepare entirely online with Twigera and test in person near you.
