Test Sites

When you are registering for NYSTCE paper-based testing, refer to the following table to select a test area.

Register as early as possible to increase your chances of being assigned to a test site within your first-choice area. Every effort will be made to assign you to your first-choice test area; however, this may not be possible, as test site assignments depend on available space. A request to be assigned to a specific testing facility within a test area cannot be accommodated. Your specific test site will be within the areas listed but not necessarily within the actual city limits. Please note that test sites are subject to change in the event of scheduling conflicts.

The name and address of your test site assignment will be provided on your admission ticket.

IMPORTANT: Not all tests are available on all test dates; refer to "Test Selection" for information about test availability by test date.
