秘密研究所

鈥淭he 秘密研究所 (NYSED) appreciates the patience and resolve demonstrated by the students and school districts that experienced interruptions with the Computer-Based Testing System on April 29, 2026. More than 116,000 students tested without error this morning, with thousands more expected to complete testing later today. Since the testing window opened, more than two million exams have been successfully submitted.

On the morning of April 29, the Department was made aware of technical challenges during the administration of the federally required assessment exams. The issue appears to be impacting a limited number of users of the Grades 3-8 Computer-Based Testing System, across select schools and districts statewide. Upon learning of this, NYSED immediately contacted our vendor, NWEA, to expeditiously address the issue.

We have advised impacted schools that they may briefly pause testing or delay to another day within the testing window, which expires May 15, 2026. NYSED is actively monitoring the situation to ensure sufficient support is provided to schools that may require it.鈥�
