| How To Check Your New York State Test Scores |
The Great Score Search: Part Spy, Part Tech Wiz
There are two main battlegrounds in this war for knowledge (of your grades, that is):
The NYC Schools Account (NYCSA): This bad boy is your portal to all things student-related in the Big Apple's public schools. Think of it as your Hogwarts acceptance letter, only instead of magic, it unlocks grades and lunch menus (because everyone knows a balanced diet is key to acing tests!). Important note for you muggles out there: You'll need an account and a special code from your school to access this treasure trove. Don't worry, it's not a secret handshake (although that would be pretty cool).
Your School: Yes, the place where you spent countless hours cramming (or maybe napping, no judgement here). They might have your scores waiting for you, especially if you're a grades 3-8 soldier.
Pro Tip: Channel your inner detective! Ask around, scour the school website, or maybe even break into the principal's office... okay, maybe not the last one. But seriously, a friendly email to your teacher or counselor can't hurt.
QuickTip: Repetition signals what matters most.
The Big Reveal: Freaking Out or Fist Pumping?
So, you've finally found your scores. Deep breaths everyone! Now, it's time to decipher that code. Don't worry, it's not hieroglyphics (although those would be kind of awesome). Most scores will come with a handy dandy explanation that translates those numbers into something a human can understand.
Here's where the real fun begins:
Tip: Read mindfully — avoid distractions.

- Victory Dance Time! You aced those exams! High fives, celebratory pizza parties, the world is your oyster! Just remember, with great scores comes great responsibility... responsibility to use that knowledge for good, of course.
- Room for Improvement? No worries, even superheroes have to start somewhere. Talk to your teachers, find a study buddy, and remember, the most important test is the effort you put in!
_Remember: Test scores are just one piece of the puzzle. You are way more than a number!
