Principals may now approve Next-Day Completion of a Regents Examination for an English Language Learner or former English Language Learner who has been granted the accommodation of extended time and is scheduled to take two Regents Examinations on the same day. Next-Day Completion of testing for these students will reduce their hours of testing for a single day and it will allow them to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of the subject better. If this did not exist, ELLs would be testing for too long and the risk of burnout would be very high.

Principals should consult with the student's classroom teacher in determining what the needs of the ELL student are. They may determine to extend test time on NYS ELA and content-area Assessments and on Regents Exams. They may also determine that time extensions such as "time and a half" should be implemented on other exams.
