Regents

[Sarah]

The most pointless set of exams in the country. They're even worse [more stupid] than the SATs. And only in New York are they a requirement for graduation. 9 times out of 10, you don't need to even take the class to pass them.

[Monty]

A [New York State exam]. There are [Earth science], biology, and chemistry regents, math sequential A and B regents, english regents, F-Language regents, Global/[American History] regents, and God-knows-what-else regents.

[Dave Paprocki]

A meaningless exam that some states force all High Schoolers to take each year. If [you fail it], nothing really happens except you being forced to take it again. You only have to pass 5 specific [regents] to graduate, which are all stupidly easy. Theres absolutely no point to this exam as its tailored so that even the [niggest] can pass. Its also the main reason why the rest of the world sees Americas education system as what it is: a complete joke.

Heres an example from the New York Geometry Regents---getting 41 credits out of 86 (half the test right) nets you a 65%. Come in with your calculator and slam your face on the test and youll pass, and if you dont come in during August and youll definitely pass.
