About the GACE^® Assessments

GACE Transition

The testing supplier for the GACE changed from Educational Testing Service (ETS) to Evaluation Systems, Pearson (ES) effective July 1, 2025. The last test administration date for GACE content tests via ETS was June 15, 2025. The last test administration date for GACE Ethics via ETS was June 30, 2025. Ethics assessments still in progress with ETS after June 30, 2025, will be cancelled with no refund.

The GaPSC accepts the portfolio-based GACE Teacher Leadership assessment and the Performance Assessment for School Leaders assessment administered by ETS on or before May 1, 2026, which is the Fall 2026 2nd resubmission score report date.
