 HOW TO READ YOUR SCORE REPORT
CONTENT SPECIALTY TESTS (CSTs)
General Information
This report provides your scores for the New York State Teacher Certification Examinations™ (NYSTCE®) that you took on the test
date indicated on the report. For each test that you took, the report specifies the minimum passing score, whether or not you met the
minimum passing score, your total test score, and your general performance on each competency of the test.
Total Score and Test Status
The total test score is based on the number of selected -response questions answered correctly and the score(s) on the constructed-
response question(s) on the test. The minimum passing score for each test was established by the New York State Commissioner of
Education with input from New York State educators and is designed to reflect the minimum level of knowledge and skills required to be
an effective educator in New York State public schools.
To achieve consistency in reporting, total test scores are converted to a common scale. These scaled scores range from 400 to 600,
with a scaled score of 520 representing the minimum passing score. If your test status is reported as "Pass," your total scaled score is
520 or higher. If your test status is reported as "Did Not Pass," your total scaled score is below 520. The total score is reported to you in
order to provide information that you can use, along with the information on the rest of the report, in preparing to retake the test.
Use of Test Scores
Candidates are not obligated to provide potential employers with copies of NYSTCE score reports.
Detailed Performance Information
Performance indices are provided for each competency of the test. These indices are designed to help you understand your areas of
strength and weakness. Performance indices for the competencies noted with an asterisk (*) are provided as guides only and may not
be used as predictors of future performance on these competencies because of the small number of test items on these competencies.
Performance Index Definitions
++++ Performance on the skills and knowledge is well above the level represented by the minimum passing score.
+++Performance on the skills and knowledge is just at or above the level represented by the minimum passing score.
++Performance on the skills and knowledge is just below the level represented by the minimum passing score.
