<p>What's you guys average Regents score?</p>
<p>93.1 ---> 10 tests taken.</p>
<p>I had an 100 on the global regents, 94 on the math A, 95 on bio and a 98 on french which means my average regent score is a 96.75.</p>
<p>the regents aren't that hard. they're pretty simple to pass, but kind of hard to do really well on.</p>
<p>the regents are a joke, in my school almost everyone passes them with 80+ scores. btw my average so far has been a 94.1 with 9 tests taken. my lowest was a 86 on the english one cause i suck at english. that brought down the average a couple points. so far i've gotten a 99 on living environment, 98 us history, 96 on chemistry, etc. this year i am just taking the physics one and the class has been a breeze so far so i dont expect a bad grade on the regents.</p>
<p>The Regents are definitely a joke. Last year, I got a 99 on Math B, a 97 on Physics, and 100 on both English and US History. I'm not bragging- I am by no means a genius in any of these subjects. I did study for Physics, but I didn't do anything for any of the others (granted, I was taking AP English and US, and honors pre-calc). After the AP exams, I was basically done with school in terms of studying. Seriously, for anybody who is taking a good amount of APs or similar-level courses, the Regents are a breeze.</p>
<p>My average is an 88.</p>
<p>100, 99, 99, 98, 86, 86, 85, 74, 68.</p>
<p>Those tests are EASY! I had finals in high school harder than that.</p>
<p>How'd everyone study for the Physics Regents? What concepts are important to go over? Also, how'd you study for math B?</p>
<p>Math B & physics are definately the hardest.. no calculators allowed</p>
<p>Calculators are allowed. What are you talking about?</p>
<p>In general, I'd say Regents are insanely easy, and we look forward to having them as finals too. But I'm scared of the Chinese Regents I have to take this year--I'm doing decently in the class, but <em>everyone</em> else is a native speaker, so they have far more vocabulary than I do, reading comprehension etc. It doesn't help that the old tests aren't posted online and I have no idea of the level.</p>
The regents are extremely hard, however there is an intense curve. That being said the curve above 80+ is non existant and above 90+ it can actually hurt you. Despite that i along with others in my class got a 100% on geometry and i got a 98 on biology because of a stupid mistake. I got a 94 on algebra and 93 on history. Im taking chemistry tomorrow but its a breeze. I dont know about other people but my courses are not tought so we pass the regents we are actually taught the matirial but then again im private school. I have no clue what happens in public shcool but in my school everyone passes. The tests are dissapointing every year they are always easy. The new common core math regents are absolutely absurd though, anyone taking them should kill themselves or vote for trump, but id choose option 1
As a younger student (8th, 9th grade) the regents seemed like huge tests that I studied a crap ton for and stressed over. Once sophomore year came around and I started taking AP tests, I realized that regents tests are a joke- After studying for the AP in May, no studying was needed for the regents. The only test that I got below a 97 on was Chemistry- my class had no less than 4 teachers over the course of the year due to maternity leave and subs being fired. I learned absolutely nothing in that class and still got away with an 87 on the regents.
But all of this is coming from a high-stats student. There is a population at my public school who really struggle to pass the regents (mostly the algebra ii/ trig one). They are taught by our calc BC teacher and get twice as much class time as everyone else. They’re the ones who take advantage of the test being offered in January and August after they failed the one given in June. That being said, many of the students in the remedial classes are the Puerto Rican kids who are pretty much fresh off the boat and haven’t had enough time to catch up on learning English, not to mention high level high school math.
Common Core is another beast in and of itself. I only have experience with common core algebra because I tutored a student taking it, but it’s given me a negative view of common core. Freshmen and eighth graders are learning AP-level statistics concepts and ideas that I only learned this year in Calc BC. While it’s great to be accelerating our students’ math learning, more and more students are being left behind and failing the ALGEBRA test!! If they can’t even pass the algebra exam, how are they supposed to pass the algebra ii/ trig exam, which is required to graduate? Sure, some of them just aren’t trying enough, but my tutoring student put in more time and effort than I ever have and she still barely passed because of the curve.
The hardest Regents exam for me so far was Earth Science. I barely passed. I got a 65 on the exam
