The Statewide CBT Checklist (link below) is a handy resource your school can use to help plan for the administration of the Grades 3 – 8 ELA, math, and science computer-based tests this Spring 2027. The checklist provides important, time-sensitive milestones to support successful operational testing administration.
In addition to this checklist, additional milestone dates for the 2026–2027 test administration can be found in the related article Monthly Events Calendar for CBT. The Monthly Events Calendar for Operational CBT can function as a companion document to the Statewide CBT checklist.
The following checklist will help you prepare staff and students to participate in New York State’s CBT Operational Testing. You may retain this checklist for your use.
