There are three main categories of Regents diploma: regular Regents diplomas , Regents with Advanced Designation diplomas , and diplomas for students with special circumstances e. Here's a brief summary of the differences between the three categories and how many Regents you need to pass to graduate with each diploma type:. The majority of NY public school students will graduate with either a regular Regents diploma or a Regents with Advanced Designation diploma.
We'll go through the testing requirements for those two categories in greater detail next. Unless you have an IEP or are an English language learner, you need to meet the Regents diploma requirements to graduate high school. You'll need to pass at least four Regents exams get a 65 or higher to get this Regents diploma:.
In addition to these four tests, you must choose one of the following six Pathway options :. Unless you choose one of the alternate Pathway options, this means that you'll need to take five Regents exams and get a 65 or above on each to graduate.
If you just miss the cutoff on one of your tests scoring a , you can appeal to your district to still allow you to graduate; if you score lower than that, or if you score below 65 on multiple tests, however, you'll need to either re-take the test s and pass or take another Regents and pass. If you're looking to challenge yourself, you can aim for a Regents with Honors diploma; the only difference is that instead of only needing a 65 or above, you need to have an average of 90 or above across all your Regents whether you take four or five.
There isn't really a material advantage to your college applications to getting a Regents with Honors diploma except possibly if you're applying to SUNY or CUNY colleges , but if your teachers count your Regents exam grade as part of your course grade, it's to your benefit to do well on the Regents you take. If I recall correctly, I believe that for some of my high school classes, our Regents grades were counted as two test scores when calculating our grades in the final quarter of the year.
The requirements for the Regents with Advanced Designation diploma include everything you need to do for the Regents Diploma plus passing two to three additional Regents exams, for a total of seven or eight Regents exams. As with getting a Regents with Honors diploma, unless you're applying to a SUNY or CUNY college which uses your Regents diploma level as a placement or admissions criteria, there's no real benefit in specifically aiming for a Regents with Advanced Designation diploma.
For example, as an eighth-grader I took Regents Earth Science, which was the honors science class for that grade vs. For other classes, the Regents exams were not only required at the end of the year, but were part of our grades for the final quarter of the year, so it behooved us to try to do well on them. The "traditional" Regents with Advanced Designation path requires you to pass eight Regents exams :.
Alternatively, you can swap out one of the social studies Regents for a third science Regents, for a fourth math assessment, or for one of the Pathway options listed in the regular Regents diploma section above.
In addition to getting a Regents with Advanced Designation diploma, you can potentially get additional laudations through the following three ways:. Below, we've created tables with the Regents schedule for June and tentatively January August Regents are cancelled. We'll update it if test times and dates change. These deadlines are 45 minutes after the time the test administration starts.
For example, let's say you sleep in past your alarm for your am English Language Arts exam not that I know anyone who did this. As long as you show up and are admitted to the testing room by 10am, you can still take the test although you'll still only have until pm to finish. Admission deadline : 10 am for morning tests; 2 pm for afternoon tests. On our blog, we've written several other articles that include specific tips for different Regents tests, including:.
