.
.								As of 2006 the New York State Education Department expanded the ELA and mathematics testing programs to Grades 3-8. Previously, state tests were administered in Grades 4 and 8 and citywide tests were administered in Grades 3,5, 6, and 7. State tests at Grades 3-8 include both multiple-choice and extended response questions. Citywide tests were composed of multiple-choice questions only. As a result of the changes in the testing program, scale score results from 1999 to 2005 cannot be compared with scale scores from 2006 to 2008 because the state changed the scale scores and its corresponding ranges with the introduction of state tests in ELA and math in grades 3-8.
.
.								In 2007 the NYS Education Department updated its testing policy for English Language Learners. ELLs who have attended school in the US for more than one year must take the ELA exam. Previously, ELLs in an English language school system for less than 3 years (or qualified for a 4th or 5th year extension of services) were exempt from taking the ELA.
