Common questions
About Regents Exams

To receive a Regents High School Diploma, a student in New York must pass five exams:

  • Integrated Algebra
  • Global History
  • U.S. History
  • Comprehensive English
  • Any one science Regents, from a choice of the following: Earth Science, Biology, Chemistry, or Physics

To receive an Advanced Regents High School Diploma, students must also pass an additional science exam of their choice, as well as two additional math exams in Geometry and Algebra 2/Trigonometry.

Most Regents Exams are structured in two parts. Part 1 is typically a multiple-choice section, usually between 30 and 50 questions. Part 2 is typically a long answer or essay section, where work must be shown.

Regents exams are administered at the student's high school. Test dates are typically in January, June, and August, although not all schools offer the August tests. Most students take Regents Exams in June of their sophomore and junior years. If a student does not pass a Regents Exam, he or she may retake that exam as many times as needed. For example, a student who fails the U.S. History exam in June of their junior year may take the exam again that August. However, if this exam is not offered in his area in August, he or she must wait until January of their senior year to retake the exam.

Regents Exams are given a scaled score based on the number of questions the student answered correctly, the level of difficulty of each question, and the skills each question measures. The minimum passing score is a scaled score of 65, and the minimum score for passing with distinction is a scaled score of 85.
