What’s on the Exam?
There are 43 questions on the exam, which are grouped into five competencies, and the time limit is 2 hours and 15 minutes.
The questions are split into two types:
40 questions
Selected-response questions require you to select the correct answer from a list of options. Multiple-choice questions are the most common example, but you may also see true-or-false questions and “matching” questions, which ask you to match terms or concepts with their definitions.
Constructed-Response (CR)
3 questions
Constructed-response questions require you to write your answer instead of selecting from a list of choices. Your responses to these questions are generally expected to be at least a few sentences, but you’ll be given specific details and instructions before you take the test.

NYSTCE EAS Scores
The test is scored using a scaled scoring method. Here’s how it works:
You will need a score of 520 to pass the test.
The reason your raw score is converted to a scaled score is because everyone who takes the test is given a slightly different set of questions. Since everyone has a different arrangement of questions, and because some questions are harder than others, converting your raw score to a scaled score ensures a more even playing field.
