Abstract: The New York State Education Department (NYSED) has a partnership with Questar Assessment Inc. (Questar) for the development of the 2019 Grades 3-8 English Language Arts Tests. Teachers from across the State work with NYSED in a variety of activities to ensure the validity and reliability of the New York State Testing Program (NYSTP). The 2019 Grades 6-8 English Language Arts Tests are administered in two sessions on two consecutive school days. Students are asked to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in the areas of reading and writing. Students will have as much time as they need each day to answer the questions in the test sessions within the confines of the regular school day. For all three grades, each test consists of multiple-choice and short-response (2-credit) questions and an extended-response (4-credit) question. Each multiple-choice question is followed by four choices, one of which is the correct answer. Students select their responses in the Nextera™ Test Delivery System. The short- and extended-response questions require students to type (rather than select) appropriate responses in the Nextera™ Test Delivery System. This document offers guidelines to help teachers ensure that the tests are valid, reliable, and equitable for all students. A series of instructions helps teachers follow the steps necessary for administering the computer-based tests within the test schedule.
