What Happens If You Fail a GACE Test?

If you do not pass your GACE exam, you can retake the exam 30 calendar days after your last test date. All exams have a 30-day retest wait period except for the Paraprofessional Exam, which has a wait of 28 calendar days from your testing date.

During the 28- or 30-day calendar wait time, you’ll want to start studying and preparing to retake your exam. To help you study you’ll want to have access to a study guide that will help you pass. 240 Tutoring offers a GACE study guide with a pass guarantee you can rely on.

If you need to change the test center, date, or time after registering, it costs $25.

If you need to cancel a test, you will receive a refund of 50% of the testing fee, as long as you cancel three calendar days before your testing appointment.

If you’re taking the GACE internationally, there is a $50 test site fee.

For the ASLPI, a $20 proctor fee may be charged on the day of the test that must be paid in cash.
