How many regents(math, science, history ect)are required by NY state law to be taken in high school? And in the long run does it really make a difference regents diploma vs regular high school diploma?
Yes it does make a difference and 2 maths, 2 sciences, 2 languages, 2 historys but some schools like my stupid skwl makes u take 3 maths and 3 sciences there disgusting!!
Wrong. For a Regents diploma, you must pass one science, one math, Global History, U.S. History, and English. For Advanced Regents, you need an additional science, math, and a foreign language. A Regents diploma might ease college admission, but after that no one cares.
In new york the regents matters. Generally most graduates from ny have a regents diploma.
superme, you’re confusing New York State’s requirements for credits with the requirements for Regents exams. You’re required to have 3 credits each in math and science and 4 credits each in English and social studies. One yeshiva I know meets this requirement by offering the 4 major subjects through 11th grade, but only English and Social Studies (U.S. History) in 12th.
yehudayona: You need all three Maths, actually. It was two when they had A and B instead of 1, 2 and 3.
Luna, google it.
Looking back, I should have gotten a GED in 8th grade and gone straight to college. It would have saved a lot of time.
Okay wrong we were all told 2 maths 2 sciences but we take 3 math and 3 sciences bec that’s my stupid schooland global and language I don’t know about google it
superme- when it was math A and B you had to take two math courses and one math regent. Now that it’s 1, 2, and 3 you are required to take three math courses and two math regents. You also need two sciences, one foreign language, Global History and American History, as well as English. If you take an additional foreign language, an additional science you may be eligible for an advanced regents diploma.
is advanced the same as honors? honors is above a 90 on all regents..
As a public school teacher let me answer this there are three types of regents diplomas currently.
Regents Diploma: 5 regents (English, Global History and Geography, U.S. History and Government, 1 Science and 1 Math (Preferably Integrated Algebra).
Advanced Regents Diploma (English,Global History and Geography, U.S. History and Government, and Foreign Language Exam (not a regents). Also you need either 2 science and 3 maths or three sciences and two maths.
Advanced Regents Diploma with Honors get above a 85 or 90 on all regents based on what the honors score for that regents (for math it usually is an 85 and other subjects a 90 but it changes from Mayra to year in some cases on some subject for different reasons.)
Now every high school in NY is required to give enough courses assuming every student will get an advanced regents diploma and can require it as an requirement to graduate from that school. They also have the option of forcing you take 3 or even 4 years of math and science if they like.

You’re obviously missing the English requirement.
