Bio Regents

I missed my bio regents today… Can I retake it in August??? Or there isn’t makeups. I really don’t want to retake the course. P.S: I live in NY

It will be given on Friday, August 17.

Whether or not your school district offers it, or will allow you to take it, are two other questions. You’ll want to speak to your guidance counselor.

But I’m curious: why on earth did you “miss” that exam?

Contact your guidance counselor ASAP.

Is it a 0 if I missed it (as in I forgot there was one) or no?

I forgot there was one @bjkmom

Ah, man.

This is going to be tough sell.

You need to contact your guidance counselor ASAP.

How on earth could you forget that you had a Regents?

There’s no state policy on this one, but I suspect your school has a policy in place. And I also suspect that it won’t be pretty.

I think the problem is that they don’t have regular class, and you don’t have to come in until you have a test. The Bio test is called Living Environment. I read somewhere else where the mom didn’t recognize that terminology and didn’t have it on her calendar…the kid slept in, and they got a call from the school saying “IT’s 12:15, your child has a 12:00 Living Environment REgents”

With all due respect, any kid old enough to be taking a Regents is old enough to know when it’s scheduled.

If I pass the Bio course but I fail the bio regents… is it necessary that I go to summer school
