NEW YORK STATEWIDE TEST PREP

GRADES 3 - 8

The NYC Department Of Education administers a standardized exam to determine how well students have learned grade-level standards while also serving as an additional tool to help parents determine their children’s areas of strengths and weaknesses. Examinations in English Language Arts and Math are annually administered to students in grades 3 – 7, except for the additional Science Assessment, which is administered to grades 4 and 8. Doing well on the state exams opens up opportunities for gaining seats into academically advanced classes in middle schools and later into competitive high schools.
