I took the Chemistry Regents yesterday, and for me, a 98 student in Chemistry, it was difficult. I wouldn’t be surprised if the state heard about it from many people. If you fail any Regents in June, you have to take a mandatory summer course and redo that test in August.

you have to retake the regents in august but u don’t have to retake the if you passed.
i agree, the test was really hard.
the teachers said it was prolly the hardest one ever.
grrrr….if i retake it in august i’ll prolly fail again cuz i forgot the stuff??! but i hope it’s easier than this one.
they say the august ones r sometimes easier cuz it’s for the ppl who failed the june one.

yea this was reallly hard, i just took it today also.. umm if you want a regents diploma, then you have to retake it when ever you can. if you dont really care that much about the diploma then its not really required so you are fine. but have some hope, maybe you didnt FAIL!

I got a 92 in chemistry but I have a feeling I failed the regents. Anyone know when the results come out?

Omar I’m pretty sure you can know today or tomorrow. I asked my teacher what I got and I failed but passed the course. So I have to take a mandatory 2wk course in August and take the test again.

My Chemistry teacher told me that the curve is ridiculously high for that regents exam. For most of the prior regents, you only need to score a 49/85 (scaled) just to get a 65.
Theoretically, this means that if you get all of the multiple choice right, you just passed the regents without going into the short responses.
In my opinion, a regents (especially Chemistry) is only hard if you aren’t exposed to the test itself. The state is only going to ask you so many ways about a particular element’s electron configuration or the Le Chatlier’s principle. So, the more questions you are exposed to, the easier the actual regents is going to be.
Also, remember: the Reference Table is your best friend. He was your lifesaver during the Earth Science regents, but he’s been relegated to the “buddy” role for this test. Most of the multiple choice questions can simply be answered through looking at the Reference Table.
I have taken 10 practice regents so far, and never once did I get below a 90 (raw score of 78/85) on any of them. The most multiple choice questions I got wrong were maybe 1 or 2, but now I never get the multiple choice wrong.
It also helps that I’m naturally attuned to the class as a whole, and that my teacher gives the class material that is harder than what the state will ask of you on a regents.
I admit, the January 2010 regents that you all took (which I recently practiced in class) was a little bit harder than the others.
