Spring 2025 state test schedule

As we head toward spring, we wanted to provide you with information regarding the upcoming New York State exams for students in grades 3-8.

Exams and the dates they'll be offered are organized below in alphabetical order by school, date and exam subject. All exams will be computer-based, and schools will offer makeups through the end of the testing period, which is May 16.

All K-12 students in our English as a New Language (ENL) programs will take the speaking and listening, reading and writing portions of the New York State English as a Second Language Achievement Test (NYSESLAT) during testing windows in April and May. Principals will provide specific NYSESLAT dates for their schools.

If you have questions, please talk to the principal of your child's school.

For additional resources and helpful information about all of this year’s state exams, you can visit the State Education Department website.
