Utah requires GED test takers to be at least 18 and for their high-school class to have graduated. A 16- or 17-year-old may test after formally withdrawing from the public school system and completing an eligibility form; 16-year-olds additionally need verification of academic readiness through a state-sponsored adult education program.
Applicants cannot already hold a U.S. high school diploma and cannot be currently enrolled in a Utah high school at the time of testing.
Utah has no residency requirement — you can take the GED here regardless of which state you live in. The Utah High School Completion Diploma is issued by the Utah State Board of Education 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. Online proctored testing requires a recent 'green' score on a GED Ready practice test, plus a webcam and a private quiet room; Utah asks online testers to coordinate eligibility through a local prep center first.
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 can test after formally withdrawing from the public school system and completing an eligibility form; 16-year-olds also need verification of academic readiness through a state-sponsored adult education program.

Took the test in Spanish and enrolled at Weber State.
“I read and think in Spanish, so I tested in Spanish. Same diploma. Weber State admitted me for the next term with no extra steps.”
Started a welding program at Ogden-Weber Technical College.
“I tested ten minutes from my place on Washington Boulevard. Studied about an hour a night for ten weeks and passed all four. Ogden-Weber Tech took the diploma right away.”
Moved from a seasonal lift job to a year-round resort role.
“I tested online from my apartment in Old Town — no drive over the pass. Studied an hour a night around my shifts and passed all four in ten weeks.”

“Math was the one I dreaded. The short lessons let me redo the hard parts until they stuck. I tested at the Heber City center and was done in nine weeks.”
Took the test in Spanish and started a hospitality program.
“I work two jobs in town. Testing from home in Spanish meant I did not lose a day driving to Salt Lake. Same diploma, and it got me into the program.”

“I read and think in Spanish, so I tested in Spanish. Same diploma. It was enough to get the technician job I had been after at a Lehi plant.”

Yes. The Utah High School Completion Diploma is treated identically to a traditional Utah high-school diploma by every accredited college, every employer, and every branch of the U.S. military. It is issued by the Utah State Board 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 a step. Utah lets you test freely at 18 once your class has graduated, but 16- and 17-year-olds can test after formally withdrawing from the public school system and completing an eligibility form. Sixteen-year-olds also need verification of academic readiness through a state-sponsored adult education program. Once that clears, you register and test like anyone else.
Yes. Online proctored testing is available 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. Utah asks online testers to coordinate eligibility through a local prep center first; the price is the same as in person — $36 per subject.
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. Utah does not require a minimum number of prep hours to sit the test.
No. Utah has no residency requirement, so you can test here regardless of which state you live in, and you will be awarded the Utah High School Completion Diploma. This makes Utah a practical option if you live near the border or move frequently for work.
Yes. The GED test in Utah is offered in English or Spanish, in person and online, and you can combine subjects taken in different languages to earn the credential.
