Regents Examinations in English, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science are required for all students entering high school. Students must take and pass with a score of 65 or better on the Comprehensive English, Mathematics, Global History; U.S. History; and Science Regents. Further details on these requirements are given on the following pages and are subject to change pending New York State Board of Regents approval.
