The GACE Marketing Education Assessment is a test designed for individuals desiring to teach marketing, 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 with 2.5 hours given to complete each test. 30 minutes is added to the testing time 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.
Most tests also include some extra selected-response questions, which are not included in the actual test scoring, but are used to determine test-taker performance.
