Chem Regents - A Requirement?

<p>Hi, I'm a rising senior, and I haven't taken Chem Yet</p>

<p>Here are what I have taken
Physics Regent + AP
Bio Regent</p>

<p>Here are what I will be taking this year
Bio AP
Chem Regent</p>

<p>But I don't really want to take Chem Regents, because it's really boring (stuck w/ 10th graders and etc.) and if I can drop it, I can take more APs</p>

<p>Question - Is Chem Regent required by Colleges?</p>

<p>I am a rising junior in new york city. I don't think you need the chem regents to graduate, but you may need that if you want the advanced regents diploma or something. No, most colleges don't require the regents, but I think that you should have at least an introductory class for chem.</p>

<p>Well, the chem regent class is bascially the introductory class to chem, but do I have to take the class to get in colleges?</p>

<p>EDIT btw, i live in NY-Long Island right now</p>

<p>if you took/will be taking the chem regents class, then it is a class ,which is sufficient for colleges.</p>

<p>Well, I AM scheduled to take the class, but do i HAVE to? i mean, i can ask my GC to drop the class(?)</p>

<p>since you have taken bio and physics already, I think the chem class is not required for graduation(unless you want to get the advanced diploma or something; I am not sure about the requirements though). But for colleges, you may want to take the chem class because most of them want bio, chem, and physics.</p>

<p>ok, thx for replying, but can anyone else also give an opinion?</p>

<p>i would like to hear from everyone...</p>

<p>im also going to talk to my gc about it</p>

<p>thx</p>

<p>Just take it. Chem is easy.</p>

<p>Well, im hoping to take AP.Psych. and 1 more ap if i can drop chem...that is why im trying to drop the class</p>

<p>another reason is that i just don't want to be stuck w/ a bunch of 10th graders...that's really boring....(no offense)...</p>

<p>Woot woot AP Psych! To answer your question though, the requirements for the diploma are somewhat dependent upon the high school, but in my school, for an advanced Regents diploma you must pass two science Regents exams, usually Earth Sci and Living Env, but since 3 years of science are required, most people take Chem too. However, the req. is clearly two regents (for advanced; I think you could even get away with one grade of 55+ for "Local Diploma), a requirement which you have already fulfilled. And AP Psych rocks the $@!% out of Regents Chem. As far as I can see, you're done. </p>

<p>P.S. I attend school on LI too.</p>
