The History of the Regents Exams
in Arbuiso Chemistry

 

back to the homepage

Numbers in boxes do not tell the whole story, but they do offer something to consider.

You are not necessarily those students, nor should previous experience be any indication of future performance.  
(This sounds like a mutual fund flyer)

If you do not pass the regents exam, you may still pass chemistry.  If you pass the regents you may not pass the course.  
If you do not pass, there will be free tutoring in July and August for you, and you should expect to take it again.  

The passing rate for the August regents has been about 90% for those retaking the exam.
