Please Note:
The Department consulted with various groups from both the public and non-public sectors for the design of this testing calendar. A concerted effort has been made to avoid scheduling State examinations on days of religious observation. Because each of these tests has scheduled make-up dates, no student should miss out on the opportunity to participate in these tests should the initial test administration in any school take place on a day of religious observance.
Please check the NYC Department of Education School-Year Calendar and Testing Calendar (pdf) for information on exam dates.
The NYC DOE also has an excellent page on yearly testing which lists exam descriptions and resources.
