<p>From my previous experience with Regents Exams, I had thought that they were kind of a joke. However, I found Math B to be more of a challenge. Is this test considered much more difficult than other Regents and will it be seen as such by those who view the score?</p>
<p>Math B is only slightly harder than Math A, but it is still watered down so a lot of people can pass. </p>
<p>I just took it yesterday o_o</p>
<p>There aren't many of them, but Math B is one of the difficult Regents. It's not required to graduate, so they don't make it idiot-proof like Math A. I know several people that didn't get great grades on it even though they did well in the Math B Honors class.</p>
<p>I agree-I had done all the other Math Bs, and thought the test would be a breeze. However, this june 2008 was HORRENDOUS. The questions were so badly worded...and just confusing in general.</p>
<p>I agree too. I did all the practice tests and i thought it was going to be a semi easy test. But i thought the one yesterday was somewhat hard, especially the part II.</p>
<p>Here here; this one was much tougher than all the past ones we've done in class.</p>
<p>I actually didn't think it was too bad...In fact, most people I talked to thought that it was easier than our final.</p>
<p>lol you think math B is hard?</p>
<p>What's math B?</p>
<p>Edit: Like who takes it and what grade, and is it required or what? What is it for?</p>
<p>i did extremely well all year long in my math B honors class, but the regents was terribleeee. i did soo many practice tests and wasn't expecting it to be this bad.. i'm pretty sure i got all of the multiple choice right, but some of the 4 and 6 pt questions killed me</p>
<p>Math B is taken by Honors kids in NY at the end of 10th grade, it's being phased out though in exchange for normal math classes.</p>
<p>I thought it was a little harder, but the curve is definatly much worse, becaues while math A is a graduation requrement and like 35% right can curve to 65%, this is not the case in math B. I got a 94 math A and an 89 math B</p>
<p>Invoyable- Math A is pretty much algebra I and some geometry.
Math B is pretty much the rest of geometry, algebra II, and a good chunk of trig.
(Both have random things interspersed in them, like some probability and stats).
I took Math B at the end of 10th grade... it really isn't that difficult. I actually did better on B than A by 5 points (I was soooooo close to a 100 on B... one point errors suck).</p>
<p>to PShap91:
for me I take it at the end of 11th grade, and I'm accelerated</p>
<p>In my area, people (regular or honors) take it in 9th (the top 20 in the nation public school), 10th grade (accelerated) or 11th grade (normal)...</p>
<p>if you want a frame of reference, apparently the Math I Sat II is quite similar (my friend described the test to me as the "medium to hard problems on Math B"</p>
<p>Math B almost killed me last year. Honestly, I was happy I passed the regents. I struggled the entire year to pass the class.</p>
<p>All other regents are ridiculously easy though, but I'm SO glad that I'm done with them forever.</p>
<p>I remember our integrated math courses being a particular btch when my time to register for the SATs the first time rolled around.</p>
<p>Does anyone have a clue how they're going to give a math regents when they change it back to the un-integrated classes?</p>
<p>Do regents exams count much towards college admissions?..... I heard that all the others don't count but this one actually counts a little bit.</p>
<p>Regents are no longer shown on my school's transcripts, so I would think not. I think it's mostly just NYS graduation requirements and whatnot to make sure everyone who graduates passes a certain amount of regents exams.</p>
<p>Oh, it still is shown on mine... If it is shown, how much weight would colleges put on it?</p>
<p>^Any college outside of NY? Almost no weight. In all honesty, don't stress over it.</p>
