This is great; thank you very much. However, when will the answers be posted (by Steve Sibol?)?
how come ny state has released the chem curve so fast, yet this is taken for ever, it really killing me
You’re absolutely right, Paul.
I thought that the curve was supposed to be a reflection of what students needed — it was supposed to come out after all the exams were graded, and be so made as to accomodate the majority of students.
Yet, NYS put out the Chem conversion chart fifteen minutes after the end of the exam and the English part II chart while the exam was STILL in progress!!
I don’t know WHAT’s going on with Trig, but I do know that a lot of students failed it, so the state is probably working hard to determine what percentage of students to accomodate: should the curve be 45, or 40, or 35?
The state does not want EVERYONE to fail, but at the same time it doesn’t want to anger teachers with an especially low cut-off (like 30, which is what it did for Algebra in June 2008 — and which upset a lot of teachers b/c that’s just ridiculous).
Another reason why this is taking so long is b/c this year marks the 1st administratiuon of the AlgII/Trig Regents: logically, it takes longer to come up with a conversion chart that the State never came up with before.
I think that the cut-off will be around 40 because this exam was never given before, so the students did not have anything to study off of (no previous exams, no idea what exactly would be covered…).
Good luck!
my teacher said there would be a log equation, regression,completing the square, factor by goruping and none of that was on there.. my guess is that nys is seeing what an apporiate curve is so that most of the kids pass, or they enjoy messing with us
First of all, no one knew what would be on the Regents exam b/c this was the 1st administration — the 1st of its kind.
Regressions are purely calculator work.
There was a log question, just in the mult. c., not the long-response.
There are so many Qs that they can ask (34 or 37, I think it was).
And, yes, a lot of people did terribly, so NYS is weighing its options.
It is not the case that NYS is “messing with” you; the teachers are just as nervous.
lET’S FACE IT: 1st test, it’s kind of hard to determine what the cut-off should be.
Let’s just be patient and hope for the best.
There are ONLy so many Qs that they can ask.
I’m 17 (just turned) and I took the “last” math b regents last June. It was incredibly easy, I got a 93 and I took just one practice test and did little additional study. I don’t consider myself an exceptional student at math at all, so I don’t see why so many kids are failing a regents thats suppose to be easier!! This is all so ridiculous, Teachers need to learn how to teach their kids, kids need to learn basic study habits. Also, I read that there were few questions with “Artificial information” or something. T_T if they cant understand “Artificial information” they must not have basic comprehension skills.
are you a math teacher
No, Paul, I am not a math teacher — just a student who knows the system very, very well.
I think the old system of just taking the Regents tests without any curves whatsoever were best. You didn’t have to wait so long to find out what you got and the scoring meant something. They’re not hard to pass, or do well in, for that matter. The only requirement is that the student studies the material.
Now they give you the use of a graphing calculator, a whole reference sheet with formulas, and then curve the test. I think it’s pathetic how many kids get into high school without knowing enough basic math (such as fractions, multiplication and division, and order of operations). Then, because they don’t have a good grounding in math, they don’t do well in the upper classes of math and “need to” have a conversion chart put in place so that the students pass.
That test was kinda hard
for the question in the long response where it was sinx=sin2x
the answers were: 0, 60, 180 and 300
If i did guess and check and i only got one answer (60) do u think ill get any credit if so how much.
If it was a 4-pt. Q and you showed your work, you would definietly get credit (1 or 2 pts.).
(BTW, you mistyped the Q — it was 2sin(theta)cos(theta) = sin(theta); but I know exactly which one you are referring to.
You won’t get all points (obviously), and depending on how much work you did, it’ll be 1 or 2 (3 isn’t likely, esp. b/c I don’t know what you mean by “guess and check”).
He typed it correctly, it was sin(2 theta) = sin(theta), but you had to substitue using the identity to yield, 2 sin theta cos theta = sin theta. In any case, if he got only 1 solution out of 4, he will probably get 1/4 points.
My fault, you’re right; he’s right.
but i don’t agree about the pts.
If you do all the substituting work, and jsut forget that you need ALL the values of x, do you really think that that is worth just a single point?
Clearly, if you sub and get to 60 degrees, you know what you’re doing.
I don’t know how plugging in random values, shows what you are doing. But based on what Porgey, said I think you should get 1/4, or at most 2/4, but high unlikely, so I’ll think of 25% credit for that question.
ill use x instead of theta since theres no theta key on my keyboard lol
But you are incorrect the original question stated sin2x=sinx….once you looked at the reference table you could see that sin2x=2sinxcosx. Thus you can state that 2sinxcosx=sinx
By the “guess and check method” i mean instead of solving it algebracially i just plugged in in values for “x” and since 60 worked i put it as my answer not knowing at the time that there were 3 other values that could have worked
According to the the speaker you could use the guess and check method as long as you took 3 guesses.
This is why im wondering if ill get credit for work and since i had 1/4 of the total answer im trying to figure out if I will at the least get one point
My fault, you did type everything correctly.
Guess and check does not mean that you check only the right answer and it works.
You have to do it three separate times (and make it not work 2 of those times).
So if you did that, I think that you will definietly get 2 or 3 pts.
Why couldn’t you solve it the normal way, though?
Good luck! We’re all praying for a low cut-off score (well, except for Noel, who probably got a 100 and doesn’t even need to see the chart…).
You would get 0 with a guess and check answer of 60
number 20 is that a secant graph

Noel, can you please send me the link of where you copied these from?
Did you copy just the long-answer questions, or the m.c. as well?
P.S. We all know that you got an 88!! Congrats; are you just as brlliant in your other subjects?
P.S.S. I am vying for valedictorian, so I just love chatting with smart people.
PSSS IT’s good to see that you’re back.
I based the m/c off what I put on my answer sheet, and the ones I didn’t remember, I worked out myself. The short answer I got from another post on this blog “Last minute tips”, and I got all these answers for short answers, and know how to get them, so I’m sure they all right for short answers. The m/c I think are all right, however I might have made an error or two transferring.
How do you guys know your grades already??
I don’t, I just posted the answers I got, and think are right, for m/c. For the short answers I’m confident they are all right.
First of all, call up the school to see if you can get your raw score (or get your parents to do it).
Second of all, Brooklyn Studio put the raw scores (see nylearns.org/pcuoccio if you want to see how many people flunked).
Best of luck to all,
Mike
Umm for m/c number and 21 i had a question. For number 21 wouldn’t the more negative the number the more it would show a negative correlation?
You’re correct, however the correlation coefficient cannot be lower than -1 or higher than 1, making -.89 the correct answer. (I’m assuming you chose -1.07?)
Is there anywhere where I can find the geometry regents answers from todays test?
bro i hope ur right cause most of my asnwer match ur thank you, i was so worried but u kinda of cheered me up
Starting at which number were the questions worth four points?Was it 36 or after that? Thanks
1 – 27 = 2 points each
28-35 = 2 points each
36-38 = 4 points each
39 = 6 points
Add them up: 2(27) + 2(8) + 4(3) + 6 = 88
Which is maximum 88 raw score.
What do you think a 70 in raw score would be worth?
If I had to guess 85 – 88.
a 70% if that is what you are saying would be a 62/88….not a 85/88
She asked for Raw score 70 equaling what % of a grade, not the other way around. And besides, she can’t even know her % grade because a conversation chart isn’t even out yet.
Nvm I was wrong, I re read it yes your right, sorry, it would probably be worth 55-60.
Im starting to question if u go an 88 on that test raw score wise, it seems like u cant do a simple proportion from ninth grade.
..
wow alot of ppl failed on that website with the raw scores
i like what the teacher said
“Congrats to those who cheated and passed, i am proud!!”
lmfao
for #7, does order matter when placing the cameras into box a?
Number 7 I wasn’t sure actually between 20 C 3 or 20 P 3, however I don’t think order matters, so it’s 20 C 3. (Choice 3) I later asked a couple of my friends, and they proved to me both through just thinking about it, to mathematical formula why it’s a combination. So the answer is (3) and order doesn’t matter.
Its 20 C 3 because even if you put camera 1, then 2, then 3 in a box, its the same grouping of cameras as if you put camera 2, then 3, then 1 in that box, so order doesn’t matter.
Should we go up to New York State and demand the conversion chart.
Given how poorly everyone did (well, not everyoen but this IS aMERICA where we talk about the majority), I think it is best to get on the good side of the board of regents.
Be patient; they’re trying to figure out just how low the cut-off should go (without angering the teachers like theyd id w/ algebra in ’08 by making the cut-off a 30).
This test was out of 88, so feel free to speculate and analyze; but patience is a great virtue.
We took the test, but the real test — it seems — is that of our patience.
Best of luck to all.
The conversion chart is NOT based on any proportion.
It’s not like 70 out of 88 is equal to x out of 100.
Generally speaking, it’s possible for the Board of Regents to curve up or down (meaning that 1x could be a 98) or a 30 could be a 66.
you are mistaken, Boris.
how is boris per say “mistaken” he simply made a humorous comment….
does anyone have an idea of what a 79/88 would convert to?
its a 90% raw score wise you simply divide (79/88) im kinda scared that some of you kids cant do math lol. We still dont know the scaled score because the bastards up in albany wont give us a converstion chart at the moment lol
i know it converts to 90%. im talking about what the raw score would convert to bc i think it could range from a 90 to 93 so i was asking for an opinion…
I’m in the same boat as you; 79/88 should translate anywhere from a 90-92 in terms of a scaled score.
a 70 in raw score would for sure not be a 60 anything. jd2718 posted in a different post earlier that a 90 would be anything from 70-78 points out of 88. so even if it wouldn’t be a 90 it wouldn’t be a 60 for sure. please explain your logic?!
ok first of all you werent very clear (70 what?? jellybeans)
a 70 percent
a 70 out of 88
in what terms are u talking
Porgey, you are mistaken.
the person is saying if her raw score is equal to 70…
What do you think the phrase “raw score” means?
It means out of 88 (which is the maximum # of pts that one could have earned on this particular Regents) An 88 is a 100, so the person is asking you to speculate what a 70 will be when it is converted when the Board of Regents finally releases the conversion chart.
Juries have taken less time to convict people and send them to the electric chair than this Board of Regents i s taking to finally allay our fears and tell us whether we passed; I suppose it’s all for the best, though: they’re trying to decide just how low the cut-off should go.
ok you need to calm down
and i was saying if my raw score= to 70 what would the converted score, in your opinion be
thats an 80 if you divide (70/88) i think that would be like an 83-85 converted and whatever this jd guy says is probably wrong he is giving such a vast range hes saying that anywhere from 70-78 raw points would be a 90. being that 70/88=80% i highly doubt u would get a 10 point increase with the curve since your at the point where the curve isnt so big anymore
-took ap statistics
can someone explain number 24
To answer your first question, 21) is (2) because r is defined such that |r| </ 1, where +/- 1 would symbolize strongest, but going higher than that doesn't make sense.
24) Let theta = x
cos^2x – cos 2x
cos^2x – (2cos^2x – 1)
cos^2x – 2cos^2x + 1
-cos^2 x + 1
From sin^2x + cos^2x = 1
subtract cos^2x both sides
sin^2x = -cos^2x + 1
Thus answer is (1) sin^2 (theta)
he didn’t say it would be 70-78 points- he said it could be anywhere in that range, as seen from past curves. so Jami could be right and so can you and maybe its somewhere in the middle of you both- I’d say it would be an 85.
She said “What do you think a 70 in raw score would be worth” that sounds clear to me, Porgey. So why are you saying, “70 what?? jellybeans” if she said in the first question- raw score.
Sigh. Now i see why they say book smart doesn’t mean street smart :) some people have no tact. Okay, so you didn’t understand her question- no one said you have to answer it, and don’t cover your mistake by saying she wasn’t clear.
according to past math conversion charts:
int. alg. jan 09- 77=90 and 68=85
geometry june 09- a 77 raw= 90 and 71=85
geometry aug 09- 76=90 and 68=85
geometry jan 10- 77=90 and 70=85
the first number is raw=real according to those conversion charts. These should give a good idea of what a 90 and 85 would be in raw score points. So, although your 70 would NOT be a 60, it would be most probably 87
Nice try, AS.
But this is the 1st administration of the algii/trig regents, and you can NEVER, EVER use PAST conversion charts; it’s different every time.
Nice try, though.
Will there be the geometry regents up on this website ever?
for 33 can u have put the answer sin -60? which is the same thing as -3 radical 4
it was -rad3/2 but im pretty sure it asked for exact value so i dont think -sin60 would be valid, but since you know what ur doing youll only get like 1 point off for it
you can too base it on that somewhat. The curve doesn’t really help the higher scores by much, and this would be a good gauge
JMAP had this scoring sheet uploaded.. By “Math B 2010” are they referring to Algerbra 2/ Trig?
http://jmap.org/JMAP/RegentsExamsandQuestions/3-AdobePDFs/OriginalExams/MathB/0610ExamB.pdf
Sorry Max, That’s the conversion chart for the Math B regents. It was given for the last time on Tuesday. Algebra II/Trig probably won’t be posted until rating day on Thursday, June 24th.
what do you think a 74/88 would be worth?
i love how the geometry conversion chart has already been posted which was only finished about three hours ago -_-
That’s because this is not the first Geometry Regents. Last year it took a week or so to post the Geometry conversion since that was the first administration of the exam.
for the standard deviation question would i get any credit for putting 7.5 instead of 7.4?
Probably 1/2 Credit. (Was that the Sample Standard Deviation Value?)
Yeah Noel i dont think that all ur multiply choice answers r right….id say like about 5 r wrong…try rechecking ur answer for #6,dude!
sqrt (-300) =
sqrt(-1)sqrt(100)sqrt(3)
sqrt(-1) = i
sqrt(100) = 10
yielding 10i sqrt(3)
Which is choice (3) , I think the others are right also, which other ones did you have a conflict with?
I actually believe they are all right, comparing them to mine and others’. 6 he did right
i dont think soo…caz my math teacher allowed the kids at my school to see the actual answer booklet as soon as we finished the test….n i got #6 right…n i didnt get the answer he did! =P
What do you think the answer for 6 is then??
sqrt (-300) = 10i sqrt(3), choice (3), I don’t see how it can be something else. And what other ones were different?
That is correct. It’s the same answer I got. What could you have gotten? Noel’s work was correct, it’s squrt(-1 * 100 * 3) (-1 * 100 * 3 = -300), giving 10i squrt(3). Unless someone made a mistake on the answer key, in which case a lot of people are going to be very angry when they get their scores. (I might end up getting one wrong because of a scantron error, I’m not sure if people look over the MC after it’s graded by the scantron machine. But it wasn’t 6, it was 11, in which I missed the negative sign in the exponent the first time I did the problem.)
…but i will say that all his short answers r correct tho!
I think the others are right too… unless you can offer some strong mathematical proof against them.
well another one that was different for #25 u put 1 but i put 4?
It’s an arithmetic series.
The first term is 1
and it goes 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + …. + 39
The formula would be
Tn = T1 + ( n – 1) d
T n = (1) + (n-1)2
Tn = 1 + 2n – 2
Tn = 2n – 1
or 2k – 1 as they said it, so that leaves us with choice 1 and 4
Now it’s choice 1, because the top number represents how far it goes.
To find where 39 is,
39 = 1 + (n – 1) 2
38 = 2n – 2
40 = 2n
n = 20
Thus 39 is the 20th term
So the answer is choice (1)
Again, Noel is correct. That’s what I got for number 25, and it looks correct on analysis.
it was so freakin east
but i need to no the answers!
Boys and Girls!
Do I need to remind you to play nice? Apparently yes.
I’m temporarily closing commenting, while I write a note with some rules, and delete the unnecessary (and unuseful) bickering and snickering and name-calling and insulting.
When I open back up (in an hour or so), please, comment on the exam. On the problems. On the test writers.
But not on each other, right?
Thanks!
hey can u post up the list of the short answers too pleez
…sorry i should be more specific…i mean the original short answer questions!
They are a pain to type, and only one per page, so I’m not taking pix.
If JMAP doesn’t post them tomorrow, I’ll retype them.
jd
Hey i no the conversion charts arent out yet…but if someone had to take an educated guys…what do u think a 66/88 on this regents would be!….as a scaled score!!!
83
If passing is 49 and mastery is 73 (admittedly, those guesses are on the tough side), 66 would yield a 79.
You can play this at home. Enter the following points in your calculator: (0,0), (pass,65), (mastery, 85), (88,100) and then perform a cubic regression. That’s how the state sets the scale.
If passing is 47 and mastery is 70, 66 gives an 82.
If passing is 44, but mastery is 74, (low pass, high mastery), 79.
Where would you predict they set the mastery? I understand you can’t be really accurate, but that’s what’s going to destroy my score. Changing the passing doesn’t really help me at all, because my raw score is somewhere between 74 and 80 and I need at least a 90 or my parents will kill me…
Do you think it would be feasible if they set them it as low as 64/65, considering that the mastery value for the June 2010 Math B’s (from looking at the conversion chart) seems to have been 70 and considering the fact that that exam has been administered for years now?
thanx!
My teacher told me that I got 79/88 raw score, which should translate from anywhere from a 90-92 in actual score.
Yes, I’m so proud of myself.
Noel, are you saying that you got an 83? If so I am sincerely sorry. I know what its like to think that I did incredible on something only to find out that I just did great. Nice job, Nate. Mike, what is your raw score? By the way, Porgey, it’s “per se”. I’m not trying to put you down or be a jerk. I’m just letting you know for future reference. Also, to those who have been saying mean thins about Albany: Taking one’s time does not make one a bad or mean person.
My bad, Noel. I didn’t see the other post. I know what you meant now. Have you found out for sure what your raw score is?
Why is it a cubic regression?
Because a cubic can be fit exactly to four points (ie, I can make it work without regression… but if you use the calculator, r = 1, a perfect fit)
Is that a good reason? Absolutely not. They could use three line segments.
In fact, if you look at the Geometry conversion chart, 71 is 85 and 86 is 100, but the scores do not go up one point at the time. Bizarrely stupid, don’t you think?
I just don’t think Albany is good enough to make tests.
jd
Thanks for the explanation.
I don’t see a need for a curve at all.
“I just don’t think Albany is good enough to make tests.”
I want to quote this somewhere. (outside this comment)
I definitely agree. I had been worried about this test, but I seem to have done well on the M.C. The World History regents was a joke, and the chem regents ended up being harder than I expected. (From past tests. This year’s regents in chem had around 10 questions with traps that I saw) The A2/T fall sampler didn’t have that much correlation with that actual test, and although it wasn’t hard (for me), that was only because I was worried so much about it. (I even made a study sheet on the computer, which I almost never do. (a collection of useful facts that weren’t on the ref. sheet. (which I’d be glad to share if anyone wants it. It’s still on my computer.)))
Anon, I would like to see your study sheet.
I have created a temporary e-mail address — anonymoussir16@yahoo.com — so please send it there as soon as you can.
Thanks so much, and good luck.
P.S. There were certain formulas that were not given on the ref. sheet, and i found several sources off of which to study them. I’ll be glad to share them with you if you want, but in a private forum.
Also, note to the maker of this blog: Please delete this comment, b/c I do not want anyone spamming me. I am sharing my e-mail address b/c I realize that the only way to read formulas is in MS Word; keyboard characters alone do not allow one to read mathematical formulas.
Do you mind sending it hear? it is my name at gmaik dot com, with an obvious typo
jd2718
I sent both. It took some frustration because Gmail seems to have an attachment problem, but I managed to get both emails sent without an error. (Mike’s took 3 tries, and JD’s managed to cut my internet connection, forcing me to reboot once.)
If anyone else wants it, I’ll upload it to my website instead of sending an attachment, and email you the link.
The sheet saved me a few points on the regents, and although I might have missed some things, and it is basically a compilation of random facts that I forgot or thought I would forget otherwise, but it helped remind me of things I did once then forgot. (such as completing the square)
PS: I’m not the same person as AnOn or as anon student. (I think both were used to distinguish from me.)
For number 17, are you sure it’s 1 and not 3?
Yes, it’s 1. Check the point (0,0) in the equation, and it works.
And to Mike, I sent it to you. I’m sorry about the 3 emails, but I got an error message on the first and second time, so I sent it a third time. Gmail apparently hates .jpg files.
And there is no reply button on your comment, so I’m replying to the next comment I saw.
can anyone post the integratd algebra regents answers or questions?
My teacher said I got a 80 on this !! I am so happy!!
how bout algebra
For number 18, I chose 1, which you chose, but there has been a lot of talk among my friends about 6 working in the check, having it come to be:
radical(9) = -3
I said it didn’t work, how bout you?
No.
6 has to be rejected as an extraneous solution.
I know what you’re trying to say, that radical 9 CAN be -3, but — in this case — it doesn’t work that way.
For the short answer question where it wanted the probability to the thousandth place, do you think I’ll lose points for answering 16.729% ?
For the question that asked for the probability to the nearest thousandth, do you think I’ll lose credit for writing 16.729% ?
@Anonymous, I don’t think you should lose points for 16.729% because it is considered a probability rounded to the nearest thousandth. I’m a teacher and a number of students put that as an answer and the math department agreed to give students full credit for that response.
you will lose 1 pt unless your teacher grades the exam loosly. which is what we must all keep in mind. Proability should be expressed as a decimal, but if your teacher allowed you to usae % during the year they may allow it on the regents.

Lets say I recieved a 37 raw score, wouldn’t I have a shot at passing because the first Math B regents raw score to pass was a 37? Also they are similar in test, I am probably mistaken but someone please let me know if I’m right.
yes you have a shot for 2 reasons…first that may very well be the cut off for passing, you can never really tell what the state is going to do. second, lets say the cut is 40, your teachers have to regrade any exam that is above 60% scaled to see if they can find it points to get to a 65. if they graded a couple of your problems tougher, they may be able to squeak a few more points out of the test.
Isn’t number 19, 3, because when u plug in radical 9 it gives u positve or negative 3 and thats why 6 works as well?
i mean # 18
the correct choice is 1. you cannot solve the problem that way. check it by graphing both equations into your calculator.
Rule of thumb: When the radical is printed on the page in front of you, it means the principal square root (positive value) only. When you are doing work, and add your own radical symbol, then you need to consider both values (you are really asking the question, when I square what number will I get the thing in front of me).
So solve for x:
, x could be 10 or -10, but
, that’s just 10.
Find the value of
Hey if the cut off score is gonna be in the 3o’s like some people are predicting then wouldnt something in the high 60’s be a 90!….not the 80’s!!!
the curve doesn’t help the higher scores very much, they have to develope the curve for both passing and mastery. if your in the high 60’s great job, but until the 24th when the conversion chart is released anything anyone tells you is a guess.
Just out of pure interest and curiosity, I ran a few points in a cubic regression on my calculator and came up with a conversion chart. I set 40/88 as a 65 and 67/88 as an 85. Might be a bit low, but considering the difficulty of the exam, I think it’s fair. (R = Raw Score, S = Scaled Score) Have fun. :P

Also, please note that this is NOT the real conversion chart. This was just for fun.
For the asymptote question…what did it mean by write the equation?
y = 0.
The equation of the asymptote, the line that gets closer and closer to the x-axis but never touches it.
Ever hesr of, “write the equation of this line given its slope and y-intercept”?
y = mx+b
Well, that’s an equation.
In this case, they asked for the equation of the asymptote. I think that what threw off you (and most students) is not knowing the meaning of “asymptote”; if you knew what it was, you would probably have no problem writing the equation.
Best of luck on the conversion chart,

for #37, how are we supposed to find the four solutions?
sinx=sin2x
i only got two, 60 and 360. i can see how 0 and 180 make sense, but how can you show that algebraically? and how many points out of 4 do you think i’ll get???
First, 360 doesn’t work, since it was in the interval of greater than or equal to 0, but only less than (and not equal to) 360.
Second, when you have Sin X = 0 and CosX=1/2, you don’t need to show anything else. It’s assumed that you know that when SinX = 0, X =0 and 180, and when CosX = 1/2 X = 60 AND 300.
If you’re wondering why X=300, it’s because 60 is just the reference angle. Cosine is positive in the first and fourth quadrants, and 300 is in the fourth quadrant. (360-60 (ref angle) = 300)
If two angles have the same reference angle, then the absolute value of Cos, Sin, and Tan are equal.
In comparison, in the second quadrant, Cosine is negative, so where the reference angle is 60 (120), cosine equals -1/2. (note the negative sign.)
does anybody know when the conversion chart for this regent will come out!!!!

I aced the Alg2/Trig regents because my teacher told the class to have their parents buy and use the Westsea Publishing NYS regents review workbook for Al2-Trig for homework every day.
http://www.westseapublishing.com
check it out. Uae it for summer school.
i got a 72 out of 88.( which is an 81.8 so 82) what do you guys think are the chances of that being curved to an 85 ?
Nicci—You’ll probably score between an 85 and an 88 depending on the curve. It comes out tomorrow; you can check online!
Good luck!
i hope its a good curvee. and thankss! (:
you may end up from anywhere from 80-90 if it’s a really good curve (hoping…)
i was so thankful that the test was actually not as hard as i expected. supposedly a lot of people failed but imagine it was actually way more difficult. oh godd!
The conversion chart is up NOW!!

Wow!…i love the conversiopn chart…i scored an 86%…..SOOO HAPPY RITE NOW!!!
omg! the curve is insanee! 91% thank you NYS (:
the conversion chart is up, its amazing, im 100% sure i got a 99
I got a 98….the curve was sick. If it was like the chemistry curve, i would’ve gotten like a 93
When i say the curve i was like….dammmmnnnnn……this thing is awesome!
yea this is like the first time that NYS has actually helped the kids who have gotten higher grades
but i’m sure there are a lot of people who were hoping for passing to be at a much more accessible raw score than 46
i mean for this year’s integrated algebra the passing raw score was 30 out of 87 so people who scored lower on this test are probably not very happy
but i’m fine with it cause i got a 97% with an 81 raw score
Woot!woot!…i got a 86% on the alg.2/trig regents!!!

Hey guys, i failed my trig regent, and I’m retaking it tomorrow. Do they make a totally different test or do they use a new one (I’m studying using the june one and would hope that the questions are the same)
It is a completely different exam. Good luck! =)
