The GACE School Counseling Assessment is a test designed for individuals wishing to become a counselor in the Georgia school system. Individuals passing this assessment would be qualified to be a counselor at all levels, P-12th grade. The assessment consists of 2 different tests, which may be taken individually or together on the same day.
Both of the GACE School Counseling Assessment tests are computer-based in format with 2.5 hours given to complete each test, including a 30-minute tutorial on taking computerized tests.
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 across content areas as well as the candidate’s ability to apply this knowledge.
Most tests also include extra 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 2 subparts:
- Foundations, which is worth 80% of the total score
- Management, which is worth 20% of the total score
Test II is also divided into 2 subareas:
- Delivery of Service, which is worth 80% of the total score
- Accountability, which is also worth 20% of the total test score
Testing windows are available throughout the year, which makes taking the GACE School Counseling Assessment easy and convenient. Test results are available approximately 2 weeks after specific test dates.
