Test Preparation Resources

Test Prep Materials >

Study Companions familiarize you with the competencies to be tested, test question formats, and pertinent study resources. There is a Study Companion available for all of the GACE^® assessments, with the exception of the GACE Teacher Leadership assessment and the Georgia Ethics assessments.

Tests at a Glance give you a quick overview of the assessment. A Test at a Glance is available for all of the GACE assessments, with the exception of the GACE Teacher Leadership assessment and the Georgia Ethics assessments.

Interactive Practice Tests (IPTs) are practice tests that allow you to answer one set of test questions to simulate what you will experience on the day of the test. They are approximately the same length as the actual test; however, the questions in the IPT are sample questions and do not appear on the actual test. IPTs are designed to familiarize you with the navigation of the test and the type of questions you will encounter. After you complete the practice test, you can see if you answered the selected-response questions correctly or incorrectly and get explanations for the correct answers. Some IPTs also include practice constructed-response questions. Feedback is not provided for constructed-response questions.

Note: The GACE Study Companions, Tests at a Glance, and IPTs are the only GACE study materials endorsed by the GaPSC. Other preparation materials may not accurately reflect the content of the assessment or the policies and procedures of the GACE program.
