Office of State Assessment wanted to make you aware of a change in the administration provisions for the Grades 3-8 Mathematics that also pertains to the Elementary- and Intermediate-level Science Tests. Beginning with spring 2024 administration, all translated editions of the test will be provided to students as paper-based tests. As in the past, students will have access to paper-based English edition of the test.
Please reach out to the Office of State Assessment with any questions concerning ordering or administering the tests.

Based on feedback from New York educators, the 2024 NYSESLAT will separate the Grades 1-2 band into distinct assessments.

Administration of State Assessments
Multiple day test administration is a testing accommodation designed to permit students who, because of their disability-related needs, are unable to complete a State assessment in a single day or testing session.

The Office of State Assessment (OSA) has been notified that the Level V, L/R/W test booklets shipped in September 2023 contain a printing error. This error only occurred in the Level V L/R/W test booklets.
Please identify and securely destroy all of the Level V, L/R/W test booklets received this month (these booklets can be identified by viewing page 5; teacher directions appear rather than questions 4-6). OSA will immediately ship replacement test booklets for Level V, L/R/W to your school; these materials should arrive in the coming days.
Please do not destroy any other 2018 editions of the NYSITELL as the new shipment will only contain the quantity of Level V, L/R/W test booklets equal to your most recent order. Schools should keep the Speaking Test Booklets and the Directions for Administration (DFA) for Speaking and Listening/Reading/Writing for the Level V NYSITELL.
Please share this information with all staff responsible for administering the Level V NYSITELL. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you, and we thank you for your work on behalf of the students in New York State. Questions can be directed to Office State Assessment.
