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.

Your all lucky!  These test take three hours!

Avatar of 1chessking

But, ofcourse you don't have to stay the whole three hours if you don't want.

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.

Do you know what a nine page report is.  Trust me, it is not what it sounds like.

Avatar of 1chessking

A nine page report is much like a poster at our school made up nine pages, three pages across with three rows.  You put information on a few of the pages, leaving the center page as the title page, one other page as a reference page, and another page as a Wildcard page(which you can put anything on).  These are actually very easy in some classes whereas they are hard in other classes.

Basically, regents suck.  Anyways, New York State screwed (exuse my french) me on a regent question in Chem.   They asked what radioactive isotope is used to treat a gland in your throat.  The question was on medical facts not Chem.  Plus there was no way I could get the answer.

I know.

82 on Chemistry Regents, which isn't bad but I want to do it again.

Avatar of 1chessking
