Never was required to take these exams, just for laughs, I've already obtained my Masters in Applied Science for Management Information Systems. But, who's bragging!

Well, only people who live in New York have to take the regents.  Which is pretty stupid.

It is mandatory to stay at the regents for an hour and a half.  After an hour and a half, you can leave.  Usually those who leave early don't get great grades.  I always stay the whole three hours and I get god grades.

If you leave early, you are only hurting yourself because you could find mistakes that you made if you stay the whole time.  Your teachers, in that regents's specific field, grade the regents.  They don't know who seregents they are grading either.

It is extremely difficult to get a 100 on a regents.  Some you have to answer 50 questions, do two essays (1 thematic and 1 DBQ), and then other hard questions.
