Released Questions from the 2025 New York State Grade 7 Mathematics Test provide a substantial portion of the scored Spring 2025 items for student, family, educator, and public review. The materials explain how multiple-choice questions, one-credit, two-credit, and three-credit constructed-response items assess procedural skills, conceptual understanding, application, and mathematical practices. Included support features describe what each released question measures and provide the correct response, while also clarifying that the set does not represent a mini test.

Tips for Taking the Test

New York State Testing Program Grade 7 Mathematics Test Released Questions 2025 New York State administered the Mathematics Tests in Spring 2025 and is making approximately 75% of the questions from these tests available for review and use. THE STATE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT / THE UNIVERSITY OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK / ALBANY, NY 12234 New York State Testing Program Grades 3–8 Mathematics Released Questions from 2025 Exams Background As in past years, SED is releasing large portions of the 2025 NYS Grades 3–8 English Language Arts and Mathematics test materials for review, discussion, and use. For 2025, included in these released materials are at least 75 percent of the test questions that appeared on the 2025 tests (including all constructed-response questions) that counted toward students’ scores. Additionally, SED is also providing a map that details what each released question measures and the correct response to each question. These released materials will help students, families, educators, and the public better understand the tests and the New York State Education Department’s expectations for students. Understanding Math Questions Multiple-Choice Questions Multiple-choice questions are designed to assess the New York State P–12 Next Generation Learning Standards for Mathematics. Mathematics multiple-choice questions will be used mainly to assess standard algorithms and conceptual standards. Multiple-choice questions incorporate both the grade-level standards and the “Standards for Mathematical Practices.” Many questions are framed within the context of real-world applications or require students to complete multiple steps. Likewise, many of these questions are linked to more than one standard, drawing on the simultaneous application of multiple skills and concepts. One-Credit Constructed-Response Questions One-credit constructed-response questions require students to complete a task and provide only their final answer. These one-credit questions will often require multiple steps, assessing procedural skills, as well as conceptual understanding and application. While students may show how they arrived at their final answer, only the final answer will be scored. Two-Credit Constructed-Response Questions Two-credit constructed-response questions require students to complete tasks and show their work. These two-credit response questions will often require multiple steps, the application of multiple mathematics skills, and real-world applications. Many of the short-response questions will cover conceptual and application standards. Three-Credit Constructed-Response Questions Three-credit constructed-response questions ask students to show their work in completing two or more tasks or a more extensive problem. These three-credit response questions allow students to show their understanding of mathematical procedures, conceptual understanding, and application. Three-credit response questions may also assess student reasoning and the ability to critique the arguments of others. The scoring rubric for all constructed-response questions can be found in the grade-level Educator Guides at [https://www.nysed.gov/state-assessment/grades-3-8-ela-and-math-test-manuals](https://www.nysed.gov/state-assessment/grades-3-8-ela-and-math-test-manuals). New York State P–12 Next Generation Learning Standards Alignment The alignment(s) to the New York State P–12 Next Generation Learning Standards for Mathematics is/are intended to identify the primary analytic skills necessary to successfully answer each question. However, some questions measure proficiencies described in multiple standards, including a balanced combination of procedure and conceptual understanding. For example, two-credit and three-credit constructed-response questions require students to show an understanding of mathematical procedures, concepts, and applications.

FAQs

What portion of the 2025 Grade 7 mathematics test questions is released for review?

The released materials include approximately 75% of the questions from the 2025 tests, including all constructed-response questions that counted toward students’ scores.

How do multiple-choice questions assess students in the Grade 7 mathematics test?

They assess the New York State P–12 Next Generation Learning Standards for Mathematics, emphasizing standard algorithms and conceptual standards, and they may involve real-world contexts and multiple steps.

What is the difference between one-credit, two-credit, and three-credit constructed-response questions?

One-credit items require the final answer only; two-credit items require students to show their work and can involve multiple steps and real-world applications; three-credit items ask students to show work for two or more tasks or a more extensive problem, and may assess reasoning and critique of others’ arguments.
