The GACE Agricultural Education Assessment is a test designed for individuals desiring to become teachers of agriculture, in the state of Georgia, at the secondary level. The assessment consists of 2 different tests, which may be taken individually or together on the same day.
Both tests are computer-based in format and two hours are given to complete each test, with 30 minutes added for computer testing tutorials, etc. Each test is made up of 80 selected-response questions, such as matching, multiple choice and/or true-false questions. The questions on both tests assess basic knowledge of agricultural content areas as well as application of knowledge in these areas. Most tests also include selected-response questions, which are not included in the actual test scoring, but are used to determine test-taker performance.
Test I is divided into 3 subparts: Foundations of Agricultural Education, which is worth 60% of the total score, Food Science and Biotechnology, which is worth 20% of the total score and Power, Structural and Technical Systems, also worth 20% of the total score.
Test II is also divided into 3 subparts: Animal Systems, which is worth 34% of the total score, Environmental and Natural Resource Systems, which is worth 33% of the total test score and Plant Systems, which is also worth 33% of the total test score.
Testing windows are offered during the months of October, February, April and June. Test results are available approximately 2 weeks after specific test dates.
