GACE® Assessments Offered

The following is a list of the GACE® assessments offered.

  • Some assessments contain more than one test. You can take each test separately, or you can take a combined version that includes all of the tests within that assessment.
  • Each test can include selected-response (SR) questions, constructed-response (CR) questions, or a combination of both. CR questions may be written, spoken, or signed.
  • All assessments are computer-delivered, except for the American Sign Language Proficiency Interview (ASLPI), which is performance-based and the Teacher Leadership assessment which is portfolio-based.
  • Testing time is the timed part of the actual test.
  • Test duration is the testing time plus any time allowed for tutorials and directional screens that may be included in the test.

Before registering for a GACE assessment, see Georgia Certification Fields and Required GACE Assessments and also review the Eligibility Requirements. More information about educator testing requirements can be found on the GaPSC website.
