What does the Georgia Alternative Assessment (GAA) replace?

ACT test
PSAT
CRCT
SAT

The correct answer is: CRCT

The Georgia Alternative Assessment (GAA) specifically replaces the CRCT (Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests) for students with significant cognitive disabilities. The GAA is designed to assess the educational progress of these students in a more tailored manner that reflects their unique learning needs and abilities. While the CRCT was aimed at measuring student proficiency in core academic areas, it was not suited for students with severe disabilities who may not be able to take traditional assessments. The GAA provides an alternative means of evaluation that aligns with the individualized education plans (IEPs) of these students, ensuring that they have a fair opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and skills. In contrast, other assessments like the ACT, SAT, and PSAT are standardized tests used for college admissions and readiness, measuring the academic preparedness of students in a conventional educational setting. These tests do not serve the same purpose as the GAA and are not designed for students with significant cognitive disabilities.
