What are PLDs?

Performance Level Descriptions (PLDs) are NYSED's descriptions of what a student at each score level (1–5 on Regents exams, 1–4 on the Grade 5 and Grade 8 tests) can typically do for each learning standard. These pages put real exam questions next to each description, so you can see what a Level 3 question looks like versus a Level 5 on the same standard.
