Informational Materials
Two sets of materials concerning the requesting and administering of Regents Examinations, RCTs, and/or Second Language Proficiency Examinations are sent to schools for each examination period. The first set of materials includes an examination schedule and a memorandum that provides information on the procedures for requesting and storing the examinations. These materials are mailed well in advance of the January and June examination periods to all registered secondary schools and to other educational institutions that have been given specific approval to administer the secondary-level State examinations. The materials for requesting the August examinations are sent to all secondary schools that during the regular school year have indicated the need for these materials via the online examination request system. Other schools wishing to request August examinations should notify the Office of State Assessment by June 30 via e-mail to examrequest@mail.nysed.gov. Online requests for each Regents Examination period should be submitted by the date specified in the memorandum.
Approximately three weeks before each examination period, the second set of materials is sent to school administrators via mail and e-mail. Included for each examination period are two memorandums: the first provides information on the shipping and administration of the examinations and the return of examination materials to the Department; the second provides information on the format and content of the examinations.
