Geometry Regents Test
In New York, Geometry is a required course for all high school students, and the course is typically assessed through the Regents Examination in Geometry. The exam consists of multiple-choice and open-ended questions and is designed to test students' knowledge of Geometry concepts and skills.
Students who have a strong understanding of Geometry concepts and are able to apply them effectively will have a good chance of passing the Geometry Regents Exam and succeeding in the course. They will also be well-prepared for success in higher-level math courses and will be on track to meet the requirements for graduation in New York.
