GACE content assessments help ensure educators have the content knowledge in their field(s) to perform the job of an educator in Georgia’s schools. Each respective GACE is aligned with program preparation standards (state and national) and Georgia’s P-12 curriculum.

Georgia only accepts GACE score results from tests taken on or after September 1, 2006.

Exceptions:

• Speech and Language Pathology - The GaPSC will accept the results of the Praxis Speech-Language Pathology test administered by ETS. As of September 2014, the ETS test code is 5331 and the passing score is 162. Results from the Praxis test previously offered in this field, code 5330 or 0330, will also be accepted with a passing score of 600. More information about the Speech and Language Pathology Praxis is available here.
• Results of Praxis tests will be accepted by Georgia only for tests passed prior to September 1, 2006, except the exception noted above.

Because scores from tests within an assessment offered by different test suppliers are not comparable, passing scores on tests within an assessment cannot be split between testing suppliers. Test takers must pass all parts of an assessment with the same testing supplier for that assessment to count toward certification.

Once a state-approved assessment is passed, the assessment does not need to be retaken. However, there is an option to retake a passed content assessment for certificate renewal. More information about this renewal option is available here.
