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.

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. 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 Utah High School Completion Diploma in hand — most students get there in three months. Start with the free diagnostic and we'll show you the shortest path from where you are.
