What is NYSTCE?

There are multiple types of NYSTCE exam:

• Content Specialty Tests (CSTs)
  These tests cover a wide range of teaching fields across all grade levels, including English language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, art, music, world languages, special education, early childhood education, and many others.
• Assessment of Teaching Assistant Skills (ATAS)
  This test is for individuals seeking a teaching assistant certificate.
• Communication and Quantitative Skills Test (CQST)
  This test is required for certain certificate types.
• School Building Leader (SBL) and School District Leader (SDL)

The specific exams you need to take will depend on your licensure pathway. Check the NYSED website or consult with your educator preparation program to confirm your requirements.
