About Registration
Once you have obtained approval to test from the Georgia Professional Standards Commission (GaPSC) or your program provider (if applicable), you can register through your ETS GACE testing account.Before you complete your test registration, make sure you are registering for a GACE test. If you get routed to the Praxis® website for any reason, please call ETS Customer Service at 1-855-225-7178 immediately. DO NOT register for a Praxis test unless it is your intention to do so. A customer service representative will assist you with registering for the appropriate GACE test.
- EPPs that wish to continue to use an assessment for program admission may adopt the Praxis® Core Academic Skills for Educators: Combined Test (Reading, Writing, and Mathematics), which is identical in design and content to the GACE Program Admission Assessment (PAA). ETS will offer webinars and/or regional workshops on the Praxis Core in support of EPPs that adopt the assessment. As a reminder, the PAA support materials currently being used, including those from Khan Academy®, are strictly aligned to the Praxis Core — it is the same test as the PAA.
The GACE® Assessments
The Georgia Assessments for the Certification of Educators® (GACE®) is Georgia's state-approved educator certification assessment program. These computer-delivered assessments have been developed by the GaPSC and Educational Testing Service (ETS).
The purpose of the GACE assessments is to help the GaPSC ensure that candidates have the knowledge and skills needed to perform the job of an educator in Georgia's public schools.
