Mississippi requires GED test takers to be at least 18. A 16- or 17-year-old may test if they are not currently enrolled in a K-12 school, with a superintendent-signed withdrawal form and parental consent. Additional pathways cover homeschoolers and applicants who are emancipated, married, in the military, in Job Corps, or facing documented hardship.
Applicants cannot already hold a U.S. high school diploma and cannot be currently enrolled in a Mississippi K-12 school at the time of testing.
Mississippi has no residency requirement — you can take the GED here regardless of which state you live in. The State of Mississippi High School Equivalency Diploma is awarded once you pass all four subjects.
A current 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.
Both options are available at the same $36-per-subject price. Online proctored testing requires a recent 'green' score on a GED Ready practice test, plus a webcam and a private quiet room.
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.

Real Mississippi students. Real diplomas. Real next chapters — nursing programs, college, the National Guard, the promotions they were capped on.
Started a practical-nursing program at Hinds Community College.
“I studied about forty minutes a night after my son went to bed. Eleven weeks later I passed all four. The retake on math was only ten dollars at the center.”
Hired into a welding apprenticeship tied to the Gulf Coast shipyards.
“I tested at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, ten minutes from my place. Two and a half months of studying on lunch breaks. The diploma was what the apprenticeship needed to take me on.”
Moved into a line role at the Toyota plant after finishing at Itawamba Community College.
“I was 17, not enrolled, and my parents signed the consent so I could test early. Ten weeks of evenings. I had the diploma before my old class even graduated.”
Enrolled at Pearl River Community College for an HVAC certificate.
“I tested in Spanish for math because that is how I learned it. Same diploma. Three months of studying after work and I was in the certificate program that fall.”
Same four steps for everyone. Most students reach the final step in eight to fourteen weeks.

Most students 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. Mississippi does not require a minimum number of prep hours to sit the test.
