Nebraska requires GED test takers to be at least 18. A 16- or 17-year-old may test after filing form NDE #12-003 with a written statement of their withdrawal circumstances and high-school transcripts, providing proof that 30 days have passed since leaving school (or a waiver), and enrolling in state adult-education classes before being cleared to test.
Applicants cannot already hold a U.S. high school diploma and cannot be currently enrolled in a Nebraska high school at the time of testing.
Nebraska has no residency requirement to sit the GED, but to be awarded the State of Nebraska High School Diploma you must reside in Nebraska for at least 30 days. Out-of-state testers can take the exam here, then credential once that 30-day window is met.
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 $36 per subject. Online proctored testing requires a recent 'green' score on a GED Ready practice test, plus a webcam and a private quiet room; an under-18 online tester needs a parent or guardian present at the pre-test check-in.
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 Nebraska students. Real diplomas. Real next chapters — nursing programs, college, the National Guard, the promotions they were capped on.
Started a medical-assistant program at Metropolitan Community College.
“I studied about forty minutes a night after my warehouse shift. Eleven weeks later I passed all four. The retake on math was only ten dollars at the center.”
Earned a welding certificate at Southeast Community College.
“Two and a half months of lessons on lunch breaks and I had it. I started the certificate program the term right after my scores posted.”
Moved into a line-lead role at a beef-processing plant.
“I tested in Spanish for math and science because that is how I learned them. Same diploma. Three months of evenings and my supervisor moved me up the month after.”
Earned a CDL after finishing at Western Nebraska Community College.
“I tested online from my kitchen once I hit the green score on the practice test. Ten weeks of studying in the evenings. The diploma was the box the trucking company needed checked.”
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 any of the community-college testing sites — Metropolitan, Southeast, Central and others — or the Pearson VUE sites in Omaha and Lincoln, or take it online from home. The four subject tests can be taken in any order, on separate days, at $36 per subject either way.
Yes. The State of Nebraska Department of Education High School Diploma is treated identically to a traditional Nebraska high-school diploma by every accredited college, every employer, and every branch of the U.S. military. It is issued by the Nebraska Department of Education once you pass all four subject tests at 145 or higher.
The official test is $36 per subject, or $144 for the full four-subject battery — the same price in person and online. If you fail a subject, the discounted test-center retake is $10 (GED Testing Service waives its $26 fee); online retakes stay $36. The GED Ready practice test is a separate $7.99 per subject, and our prep is a one-time payment.
Yes, with steps. Nebraska lets you test freely at 18, but 16- and 17-year-olds can test after filing form NDE #12-003 with a withdrawal statement and transcripts, showing 30 days have passed since leaving school, and enrolling in state adult-education classes. Online testers under 18 also need a parent or guardian at the check-in. Once those steps clear, you register and test.
Yes. Online proctored testing is available through GED Testing Service at the same $36 per subject as in person. You need a recent 'green' (likely-to-pass) score on a GED Ready practice test, a webcam-equipped computer, and a private quiet room. Testing is available around the clock, so you can sit it on your own schedule.
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. Nebraska does not require a minimum number of prep hours to sit the test.
Not to test — Nebraska has no residency requirement to sit the exam. To be awarded the State of Nebraska High School Diploma, though, you must reside in Nebraska for at least 30 days. Out-of-state testers can take the GED here and then credential once that 30-day window is met.
Yes. The GED test in Nebraska is offered in English or Spanish, in person and online, and you can combine subjects taken in different languages to earn the credential. Twigera's prep is in English; 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 State of Nebraska High School Diploma in hand — a community-college testing site is rarely far, and most students get there in three months. Start with the free diagnostic and we'll show you the shortest path.
