Is Computer-Based Testing Right for Me?

Computer-based tests are available for the fields listed in "Test Selection for Computer-Based Testing" during specific testing windows on a first-come, first-served basis. Refer to the following table for information about each computer-based testing window currently open for registration.

The last computer-based testing window for the 2012–2013 program year is April 4–19, 2013.

Registration for computer-based testing is available only on the Internet by selecting "Register Now" on the GACE Web site. You should try to register as early as possible before your desired test date. Before registering, you may check real-time seat availability and review test center locations.

Please note seat availability information is subject to change. Due to the amount of time required to process a registration, you may not be able to schedule an appointment to test if you register within three calendar days of the day on which you plan to test. You may need to schedule your test appointment during the next available testing window.

Please note that the score report date for the April 2013 CBT testing period falls during the late registration period for the June 15, 2013, paper-based test administration. The late registration fee will not be waived for examinees who take a test on computer in the April 2013 testing period and then after receiving their CBT score report choose to register to retake the same test at the June 2013 paper-based administration. Also, examinees who register for a paper-based test administration before receiving their scores and later learn that they passed the same test on computer will not receive a refund for any testing fees paid.
