Question:Well i'm 17 in the 9th grade to let you know and i want to take the GEd so i can leave already,i live in new york and i need to know if i'm eilable to take it.

Answers:
Yes; however, you have to wait until your graduating class is within 6 weeks of graduation, in some states. In Utah, you have to wait until your Graduating Class has already had their Graduation. Kansas, you do not have to wait for your Graduating Class...you can take the GED/ Equivalency Exam after turning 16.
If you think you can pass it (and you may want to consult your school counselor), I think you can take the test any time.
anybody from that age on up can get there GED.
consult with a school advisor/counselor. It's the safest bet.
If your writing here is about your normal standard, I would not take it. You're 17 and in 9th grade instead of 11th or 12th. This also suggests that you actually need more schooling. You have seventeen mistakes in two sentences.
Looks like all you have to do is sign up for an approved Alternative High School Equivalency Preparation Program

Persons 19 years of age and older must:

Submit a completed application
Not have graduated from high school or already earned the NYS High School Equivalency Diploma
Be a resident of New York State for at least one month prior to the day of testing
Wait two months before retesting and take a different form of the test each time

If you are 17 or 18
Persons 17 and 18 years of age must meet all of the above conditions and, in addition, must meet one of the following requirements:

Be enrolled in an approved Alternative High School Equivalency Preparation Program OR
Not have attended a regular, full-time high school for one full year or more and have written verification from the school last attended showing the last date of attendance, dismissal, or discharge. This documentation must be submitted with the GED Exam Application OR
