GACE Passing Requirements

All test results are reported as scaled scores. The scaled score is a combination of the number of scorable questions you answer correctly on the selected-response section of the test and the scores you receive on any constructed-response assignments, converted to a scale from 100 to 300, with a score of 220 representing the passing score. Please note that for assessments composed of more than one test, candidates must pass all tests for that assessment to meet the certification requirements.

Retaking the GACE

Each GACE assessment is composed of one, two, or three tests (see "Program Overview"). If you do not pass one or more of the tests for an assessment, you may register for and retake the test(s) that you have not passed. There is no limit to the number of times you may retake a test that you have not passed; however, each time you retake a test, you must reregister. Note that you must wait 30 days after taking a computer-based test before retaking the same test on computer.
