Preparing for the Tests

You may wish to review the test design and framework for your assessment field. The test design outlines the number of tests included in the assessment, as well as the specific content areas covered by, and types of questions included on, each test in the assessment. The test framework contains the entire set of test objectives on which the assessment is based. Test designs and frameworks for all fields can be viewed or downloaded (at no charge) by selecting "Test Designs and Frameworks" on the GACE Web site.

Additional information about the GACE can be obtained from the preparation guides. Preparation guides for all fields can be viewed or downloaded (at no charge) by selecting "Preparation Materials" on the GACE Web site. Each preparation guide contains practice test questions and test preparation suggestions.
