When should I start studying for the Regents?

Study every day.
Don't leave studying to the last days before the exams. Work backward from your test dates and make study deadlines for yourself. Start with material learned at the beginning of the school year because you are more likely to have forgotten it.

How do I find my Regents scores?

Regents exam scores can be found under the “Grades” tab, while scores for grades 3-8 state assessments in ELA and math can be found under the “Assessments” tab.” This is because Regents exam scores affect a student's grade for the applicable class; State assessments in ELA and math do not affect grades.

Is freshman year in college the hardest?

Freshman year is maybe the hardest year of all! There is no question that the first semester of the freshman year of college is the most critical. No one makes you do your homework during freshman year. Assignments are rarely daily during freshman year, and it's unusual to be quizzed on the previous night's reading.

How many times can you retake a Regents exam?

Not every school will offer all the Regents exams all three times a year. You can call around and see where the test you want to take is offered when you want to take it. Classes are not reqired, but I strongly suggest you study and review before you retake it.
