The GACE Paraprofessional assessment measures the skills and knowledge in reading, writing and math possessed by prospective and practicing paraprofessionals.
There are 2 ways to take your GACE Paraprofessional test, either in a test center or remotely at home using Prometric’s ProProctor™ application. To take the GACE Paraprofessional test at home, you must have a computer with a camera, an internet connection and the ability to install a lightweight app (prior to the test event). You will be able to take the test online while a Prometric proctor is overseeing the examination process remotely.
