New York State Tests Tutoring: 3rd – 8th Grade Introduction
The New York State Tests are a series of standardized tests occurring each spring for public school children in grades 3 through 8. Each year students take a math and an ELA (English Language Arts) test. In grades 4 and 8 students also take a science test.
The tests are most important in grades 4 and 7, because results from those tests are included in applications to middle and high schools, respectively. If you are considering tutoring for your child, the fall or early spring for grades 4 and 7 are the times to schedule support. For students who need significant review, summer is an especially productive time for tutoring as students aren’t distracted with their studies and can more easily focus on catching up.
