<NEW> NYSTCE Flex Assessments

What are the NYSTCE Flex Assessments? 

"The New York State Teacher Certification Examination Flex (NYSTCE Flex) provides an assessment option for candidates whose score on selected test fields is within 0.5 standard error of measurement of the passing score. Candidates who meet this eligibility requirement may have the opportunity to submit a NYSTCE Flex assessment rather than retaking their test. For NYSTCE Flex, candidates provide an analysis in which they demonstrate their knowledge of the content assessed by a test competency. Candidates will complete the analysis and submit it to be scored using Pearson’s ePortfolio system. Candidates who pass NYSTCE Flex will meet the relevant content specialty test requirement for their certificate, but may still need to take and pass additional content specialty tests as required by their certificate area. The NYSTCE website includes NYSTCE Flex assessment information, policies (including eligibility requirements), account creation and registration, as well as access to the Pearson ePortfolio system upon registration."
