New York State Teacher Certification Examinations (NYSTCE) Computer-Based Testing (CBT)

Registration

You must complete test registration through the NYSTCE website and receive your Authorization to Test to be able to schedule a test.

Scheduling

You may schedule your test online 7 days per week, 24 hours per day. First-time test takers must create a Pearson VUE web account. Please note that account setup may require up to 24 hours. You will be notified by email when your account is activated. When creating your account and scheduling your test, be sure to have your Authorization to Test available because you will be asked to provide information from this document.

After you schedule your test, Pearson VUE will send a confirmation letter listing your test date, your testing time, the address and phone number of the test center, and directions to the test center.

Tutorial

Before beginning the test, you will be given an on-screen tutorial that will show you how to navigate through the test, how to indicate your answers, and how to use the features of the computer-based test. A tutorial preview is available to help candidates prepare for the computer-based testing experience.
