| The History of the Regents Exams in Arbuiso Chemistry
|
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.
