GRE scores pertain to the combined score for the verbal and quantitative sections of the examination. GACE BASIC means that the applicant must have passed all three basic skills area of the GACE.

An applicant who plans to complete a program for initial teacher certification must present passing scores on the GACE Basic Skills Assessment or gain an equivalent score on an alternative exam as determined by the department. The current options for satisfying the Basic Skills Assessment, including the exemptions, are outlined at http://www.gapsc.com/documentation/basicskillsinfo.asp. Under "Basic Skills Testing," go to "Options to Satisfy the Basic Skills Requirement."

Applicants who are already certified in the State of Georgia do not have to meet the GACE Basic Skills Assessment requirement. Visit http://www.gace.nesinc.com for more information about the GACE Basic Skills Assessment.
