Special note about the Science exams

Given the phase in of the new NYSSLS standards, we strongly recommend that you only administer Living and Earth Science mocks for students repeating those exam, and NOT to use them for first-time takers of the new NYSSLS Biology or Earth & Space exams. For first-time takers sitting for the new exams we recommend using New Visions’ interim assessment spreadsheet tools. Learn more here

After submitting your answer sheets to New Visions, we will scan and process your data, and the following views will become available in the Portal under Mock Regents Results:
