The GACE® Assessments
The Georgia Professional Standards Commission (GaPSC) and Educational Testing Service (ETS) have developed the Georgia Assessments for the Certification of Educators® (GACE®) for prospective public school educators in the state of Georgia.
Important information
The testing supplier for the GACE® program is changing from Educational Testing Service (ETS) to Evaluation Systems of Pearson (ES). Until July 1, 2025, there will be no changes to the GACE program.
Because scores from tests offered by different test suppliers are not comparable, examinees must pass all parts of an assessment with the same testing supplier for that assessment to count toward certification. Passing scores on tests within an assessment cannot be split between the two suppliers. For example, an examinee cannot pass a test with ETS and expect to take the same test with ES to get credit for completing a GACE assessment.
