You can test on your own at 18. If you are 16 or 17, Vermont still lets you test, but you need signed written consent from a parent or guardian. For an online test, a parent or guardian must attend the pre-test check-in to give consent and authorize recording.
You cannot already hold a U.S. high-school diploma and cannot be currently enrolled in a high school at the time you test.
You must be a Vermont resident to choose Vermont as your testing jurisdiction and receive the state credential, which is issued by the Vermont Agency of Education. Out-of-state testers earn their credential through their home state instead.
A current driver's license, state ID, U.S. military ID, or passport is accepted at every Vermont testing center. Expired IDs and school IDs are not accepted.
Both options are available statewide at the same per-subject price. Online proctored testing requires a recent 'green' score on a GED Ready practice test, a webcam-equipped computer, and a private, quiet room.
You must score at least 145 on each of the four subject tests independently. If you miss the mark on one subject, you retake only that subject — not the whole battery.
16- and 17-year-olds can test with signed written parental consent; an online test also requires a parent or guardian at the pre-test check-in to authorize recording.
These are the official fees from GED Testing Service for Vermont test takers — what the test itself costs. Our prep is a separate one-time payment, with a Pass Guarantee on the Pro plan.
Charged at the testing center or online checkout.

In Vermont, 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 Vermont students. Real diplomas. Real next chapters — nursing programs, college, the National Guard, the promotions they were capped on.
Started a patient-care program at the Community College of Vermont.
“The UVM Medical Center was hiring, but every posting wanted a diploma. I studied at night after my shift and tested online from home. Eight weeks later I had all four subjects done.”
Enrolled in the nursing pathway at CCV.
“Two kids and a part-time job meant a classroom schedule was impossible. The lessons were short enough to fit at night. I tested in person in Rutland and start clinicals this fall.”
Moved into a technician role at the GlobalFoundries plant.
“The plant was hiring techs, but the application stopped at the diploma line. Math was my weak spot, so I started there. Ten weeks of an hour a night and I got the job.”
Enrolled at the Community College of Vermont, Brattleboro.
“I left school early and figured college was off the table. Testing online meant I didn't have to take a day off and drive north. I had the diploma before the school year ended.”
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.
Short video lessons, then practice on the same skill the same day. The platform reorders your queue around what you miss.
Full-length, timed simulations that look and feel exactly like the official test. Three clean passes and you are ready.

Schedule the official GED through ged.com (run by GED Testing Service) at a Community College of Vermont campus or an adult-learning center, or take it online from home with live proctoring. The four subject tests can be taken in any order, on separate days. Most Vermont learners finish across two to four sittings, and you only sit the subjects you are ready for.
Yes. The Vermont GED diploma, issued by the Vermont Agency of Education, is treated the same as a high-school diploma by accredited colleges, employers, and every branch of the U.S. military. The Community College of Vermont, Vermont State University, and the University of Vermont accept it for admission, and it meets the diploma requirement for most apprenticeships and licenses in the state.
The official test is $36 per subject, or $144 for the full four-subject battery — the same price in person or online. A discounted in-person retake is $10 per subject; online retakes stay $36. To test online you must first earn a green score on the GED Ready practice test ($7.99 per subject). Adult-learning centers offer free prep classes, which are separate from the test fees. Our prep is a separate one-time payment.
Often, yes. Vermont lets 16- and 17-year-olds test with signed written consent from a parent or guardian. For an online test, a parent or guardian must attend the pre-test check-in. You cannot be currently enrolled in a high school. At 18, you can test on your own with no extra paperwork.
Yes. Online proctored testing runs 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. The diploma issued is identical to the in-person credential.
Most learners 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. Vermont does not require a minimum number of prep hours, so you can move as fast as your scores allow.
Yes. You must be a Vermont resident to choose Vermont as your testing jurisdiction and receive the state credential, which is issued by the Vermont Agency of Education. If you live in another state, you would test and earn your credential there instead.
Yes. The GED test in Vermont is offered in English or Spanish, in person and online — you choose at registration. Twigera prep is in English, and 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 name on the Vermont Agency of Education roster — most learners get there in about three months. Start with the free diagnostic and we'll map the shortest path from where you are.
