About this exam

The GACE Educational Leadership assessment is a Georgia educator assessment for teachers and other experienced educators pursuing school leadership roles, such as assistant principal or principal. It may be part of a Georgia leadership certification pathway, but it is not a general college-admissions test, and taking it alone does not guarantee certification or a position. Requirements can depend on your preparation program, certification route, and current state rules, so check the Georgia Professional Standards Commission for the pathway that applies to you.

GACE Educational Leadership topics include building an educational vision, planning for school improvement, strengthening instruction, aligning curriculum, and supervising and evaluating teachers. Candidates should be ready to apply leadership knowledge to school-based situations, not just recall terminology. The assessment’s current structure and question types are described in its official study materials and may change, so review the latest test guide before planning your study schedule. For teacher candidates, connecting leadership concepts to classroom practice can make scenario-based questions easier to analyze.
