Voiding of Test Scores by the NYSED or Evaluation Systems

If you violate one of the Rules of Test Participation or if doubts are raised about the validity or legitimacy of your registration or your scores, Evaluation Systems will notify the NYSED and other parties as deemed appropriate by the NYSED.

Evaluation Systems takes reasonable security precautions in developing and administering the NYSTCE tests and in processing test scores. The NYSED and Evaluation Systems reserve the right to void your scores if, in their sole opinion, there is adequate reason to question your scores' validity or legitimacy, due to misconduct (including, but not limited to, a violation of the rules set forth on this website, including the Rules of Test Participation, and the rules communicated to you, orally or in writing, at the test administration) or to circumstances within or beyond your control.

Further action may be taken, including denying, revoking, and/or suspending a teaching certificate. Other actions, as described in Rule 1 of the Rules of Test Participation, may be taken as deemed appropriate by the NYSED and/or Evaluation Systems.
