June 2011 New York State English Regents

<p>For anyone in New York who took the English regents today...</p>

<p>What did you put for the first question of listening? It was like The author included the story about climbing Mount Everest to....</p>

<p>Was it to capture the audiences' interest/attention </p>

<p>or convey personal beliefs?</p>

<p>i put increase interest…some of those questions were hard b/c they were vague and i took ap =[ </p>

<p>the conversion chart is horrible too =[</p>

<p>yes! I put that too and so did most of my friends that I asked. But some people keep arguing that it’s the other one…</p>

<p>And i know the curve is horrible. Compared to the US History curve, this is insane…i hope I got the 6 on the essay!</p>

<p>i know, otherwise we automatically drop to 94, thats so unfair looking at past regents curves</p>

<p>and for the one with “I might just have to find out” or something like that for the listening, was he displaying curiosity or determination? i put determination</p>

<p>and for the girl who kept everything, were one of the answers revealing? do you remember any other questions from that passage because i had trouble with number 12 but i cant remember the question lol</p>

<p>I said “establish personal beliefs” I think thatthe audience would have been interested either way and the author stressed the point that even though climbing everest was great the other things he did in his life were more significant. I think that the part about everest was too long to just capture the interest of the audience</p>

<p>Where is the conversion chart available? I found it, but in a pw-protected file that I can’t crack.</p>

<p>Only the answer key is password protected, the conversion chart is available</p>

<p>It was all protected when I tried to dl it.</p>

<p>Oh that’s weird then…I was able to get it this afternoon. But its very similar if not exactly the same as the january chart</p>

<p>colleges don’t care about regents</p>

<p>Wellll I think they use them to compare you to other students from new york, bit that’s really the only purpose</p>

<p>@kingsquirrel: regents get u ur diploma and this is a very important regents that goes with ur diploma. bomb this and u don’t graduate~. also for most schools the regents is factored as a final for ur final average. so indirectly colleges do give a crap. ALSO, alot of state schools, and bs/md programs in ny do look at ur regents scores~</p>

<p>ALSO: i got revealing for one of the answers. did anyone else? i hope it was right…</p>

<p>I got revealing as well</p>

<p>

What’s the website? Maybe you got it somewhere else.</p>

<p>here’s the pdf link: <a href=“http://www.nysedregents.org/concht/611/compeng-cc611.pdf[/url]”>http://www.nysedregents.org/concht/611/compeng-cc611.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>what was the question about her weeding things out- worried about the future? (girl with all the stuff passage)</p>

<p>i put wanting to decorate her room or anxious about it</p>

<p>oh the choice about redecorating? that was the one i was thinking about too but then the mother was saying something about how she didnt want the daughter to be overwhelmed later on so she should clean it now when they were moving idk i dont like english =[</p>

<p>do you guys know when the answers will go up? the answers from the physics regents still arent up and that test was wednesday so do all the answers go up after all the tests are over?</p>

<p>I got personal beliefs…</p>

<p>^thats what I got too.
And if I remember correctly they didn’t put the grades up for a while last year…like I got my grades before they were posted</p>

<p>What did you guys get for the foreshadow question?
Something like…It smelled pulpie
or like…Why do we contain it all?</p>

<p>Obviously i don’t remember the exact answers but something like those</p>
