Some Frequently Asked Questions about the GACE…

What is the GACE?

The GACE Program Admission Assessment (700) is used in the state of Georgia to measure teacher candidates’ aptitude in reading, mathematics, and writing. You may take the subtests individually on separate dates, or you may take them all on the same date; either way you must complete all three subtests in order to pass the exam. While there are other GACE tests for specific academic subjects you may also be required to take, these core subjects are essential for anyone entering the teaching profession.

What is on the GACE?

The GACE Program Admission Assessment (700) gauges college-level skills in mathematics, reading, and writing in accordance with the Common Core State Standards. Each test—Reading, Mathematics, and Writing—is broken down into different categories based on the skills needed to succeed in a teacher preparation program.

On the Reading subtest, you will read and answer questions about fiction and nonfiction passages, which will be of varying length. They may be taken from any reading material an educated adult is likely to encounter, including novels, newspapers, magazines, articles on current events, and visual representations. The Mathematics subtest focuses on numbers, algebra, geometry, and statistics and probability. A four-function calculator will appear on screen when you are permitted to use one. The Writing subtest focuses on your ability to analyze purpose, production and types of text and your language and research skills for writing. You will write two essays in addition to answer multiple choice questions. For all multiple-choice questions, you will select the best answer from either three or four answer options.

How is the GACE scored?

Each multiple-choice question is worth one raw point. The total number of questions you answer correctly is added up to obtain your raw score. Your raw score is then scaled. Scores are reported either as “PASS” or “NOT PASS.” You must receive a score of at least 250 on each subtest in order to pass the Program Admissions Assessment.

Essay responses are scored on a holistic scale of 1 – 6 by two separate graders who are unaware of each other’s evaluations of your work. Your scores on both essays—argumentative and source-based—are combined with your raw score to determine your scaled score on the Writing exam.

Keep in mind that a small number of multiple-choice questions are experimental and will not count toward your overall score. ETS uses these to test out new questions for future exams. However, as those questions are not indicated on the test, you must respond to every question. There is no penalty for guessing on the test, so be sure to eliminate answer choices and answer every question. If you still do not know the answer, guess; you may get it right!

How is the GACE administered?

The GACE is a computer-administered test. The GACE website allows you to take practice tests and tutorials to acclimate yourself to the computerized format. The GACE is available at testing centers across the nation.
