About New York State testing

New York's assessment system has two distinct tiers. Grades 3-8 take the New York State Tests in ELA and mathematics every spring, plus Elementary-Level Science in Grade 4 and Intermediate-Level Science in Grade 8. Results are reported on a 4-level proficiency scale where Level 3 is the state's passing bar.

High-school students earn credits toward a diploma by passing the Regents Examinations, the oldest continuous standardized testing program in the United States (first administered in 1865). Each Regents exam ties to a specific course — Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, Living Environment, Earth and Space Sciences, Chemistry, ELA, U.S. History and Government, Global History and Geography II — and is scored on a 0-100 scale with 65 as the passing mark.

Every ZeroRetake NY book is authored against the official NYSED specifications, uses the exact item formats published in NYSED sample item sets, and cites the specific NGLS (or Regents framework) standard each item targets in the answer key.
