Juniors taking the exam on June 12
You are most likely preparing for this exam in your core English class. You should, therefore, coordinate with me to make sure we reinforce that work with appropriate elements from the practice exam assigned in mid-May. You should also read the following post:
The weird picture is of a blobfish. It’s part of an equally weird metaphor about the pressure of high-stakes tests. Anyway, the post crunches the numbers for the Regents Exam, offering you a look at what you’d need on each section to pass or score distinction.
Seniors taking the exam on June 12
You need to complete the practice exam assigned to you as soon as possible. We’ll review your performance as you go. Like the juniors, you might benefit from reading that post on gamesmanship. You might have different goals in terms of the score, but you all need to pass.
Students not taking the English Regents Exam
You stayed on the roster to prepare for another exam. Use the next five meetings to do practice tests through Castle Learning, seek tutoring, which I will help you set up; or to quiz yourself, if the exam is content driven. I’ll be here to help.
Ask any questions about the exam below.
