What We Review

Algebra 1 Regents Exam Essentials

In this section, we’ll detail test-specific information about the Algebra 1 Regents exam. If you are still acclimating yourself to Regents, we recommend you first read our Algebra 1 Regents FAQ.

What’s the format of Algebra 1 Regents?

The Best Algebra 1 Regents Review Guide for 2022 | Albert Resources (2)

The Algebra 1 Regents exam includes 24 multiple choice questions and 13 constructed response questions. Each question is worth a specific number of points (called “credits”).

Every multiple choice question is worth 2 credits while the constructed response questions are worth either 2, 4, or 6 credits. When you take the Algebra 1 Regents exam, you’ll use pencil, pen, and paper – the exam is not available to be taken on a computer.

What topics are covered on the test?

The Best Algebra 1 Regents Review Guide for 2022 | Albert Resources (3)

The many topics assessed on the Algebra 1 Regents exam can be grouped into four broad conceptual categories. Here are those four conceptual categories listed in order of importance:

  • Algebra (50%-56% of the exam)
  • Functions (32%-38% of the exam)
  • (5%-10% of the exam)
  • (2%-8% of the exam)

Let’s dive into each one of these four conceptual categories:

Category #1: Algebra

The Algebra category includes a wide range of topics such as interpreting the structure of expressions, performing arithmetic operations on polynomials, and manipulating equations.

The Algebra category accounts for 50%-56% of the Algebra 1 Regents exam. This means students taking the Algebra 1 Regents exam are typically asked many questions in the Algebra category, so it’s very important to spend time reviewing and practicing topics in this category. Algebra is by far the most important conceptual category for you to master in order to pass the Algebra 1 Regents exam

To check how ready you are to pass the Algebra 1 Regents exam, consider the guiding questions below about concepts you should understand and skills you should master in the Algebra category.

  • Can you distinguish between correlation and causation?
  • Can you understand the structure and meaning of a two-way frequency table?
  • Are you able to interpret relative frequencies in the context of the data?
  • Can you recognize possible associations and trends in data?
  • Accounting for possible effects of extreme data points (outliers), can you interpret differences in shape, center, and spread in the context of data sets?

Skills You Should Master:

  • Can you calculate and interpret the correlation coefficient of a linear model?
  • Can you summarize categorical data for two categories in a two-way frequency table?
  • Can you represent data with plots on the real number line including dot plots, histograms, and box plots?
  • Can you use statistics appropriate to the shape of data to compare center and spread of data sets?

Category #4: Number & Quantity

The Number & Quantity category includes topics such as quantitative reasoning, unit conversions, and using properties of rational or irrational numbers.

The Number & Quantity category accounts for 2%-8% of the Algebra 1 Regents exam. This category is the fourth most important conceptual category for you to master in order to pass the Algebra 1 Regents exam. Students taking the Algebra 1 Regents exam are generally not asked many questions in this category, but mastering the topics in Number & Quantity sets a solid foundation for future math courses.

Below are some guiding questions about concepts you should understand and skills you should master in the Number & Quantity category. The comprehensive guiding questions below are based on New York State math standards from the Algebra 1 Regents test guide.

What can you bring to the Algebra 1 Regents test?

The Best Algebra 1 Regents Review Guide for 2022 | Albert Resources (12)

Feeling prepared for the Algebra 1 Regents exam can help ease test anxiety and set students up for success. We recommend that you pack a bag with exam essentials the night before your Regents exam so that you wake up feeling ready to ace the test!

Follow our lists on what to pack — and what NOT to pack — to build your own Algebra 1 Regents survival kit.

The Essential Algebra 1 Regents Packing List

  • Sharpened #2 pencils: You’ll need #2 pencils to bubble in your answer sheets for Part I of the Algebra 1 Regents exam and to create graphs and drawings for Parts II, III, and IV. We recommend bringing at least 3 sharpened pencils to get you through all 37 questions. If you prefer mechanical pencil, be sure to choose one with lead labeled “HB”, which is the same grade as #2.
  • Erasers: Don’t let a poorly erased answer lose you points on the exam. Bring a good eraser to your test and be sure to completely erase any changed answers or stray marks in your answer document. We’re begging you: leave the fun, novelty erasers at home. Instead, invest in a Paper Mate Pink Pearl or a Pentel Hi-Polymer eraser. You’ll thank us when your answer sheet is 100% smudge-free.
  • Black or blue pens: All work for Parts II, III, and IV of the Algebra 1 Regents exam (other than graphs and drawings) should be completed in black or blue pen. Do not use red ink in any part of the exam and do not attempt to erase any pen marks. If you make a mistake, cross your work out clearly and start again.
  • Student identification: Bring your student ID card or another form of ID so that your testing administrator can verify your identity. This is especially important if you’re taking the exam at a location other than the school you attend.
  • Graphing calculator: Students must have access to graphing calculators for the entire Algebra 1 Regents exam. While your school or testing facility will provide you with a graphing calculator, we recommend bringing one that you are accustomed to using. Just remember, your graphing calculator’s memory will be cleared before you take the exam.

    Check out these Regents graphing calculator guidelines to get familiar with the tasks you’ll be expected to perform. Plus, we’ve
    created a guide on graphing calculator tips and tricksto help you maximize your exam score.
  • Extra batteries: Remember, you’re allowed to use your graphing calculator for the entire Algebra 1 Regents exam. Don’t let your calculator die on you! Double check the type of batteries your calculator uses — most likely it will be 4 standard AAA batteries — and bring an extra set to have handy during the exam.
  • Ruler: Students are required to have access to a ruler for the entire Algebra 1 Regents exam. If you have a straightedge or ruler that you prefer to use, bring it along!
  • Watch: You have three hours to complete the Algebra 1 Regents exam. To help pace yourself, we recommend wearing a watch during the test. Just remember to leave smart watches with communication capabilities outside the exam room.
  • Exam invitation: Your school or testing facility might provide you with an “invitation” to the Algebra 1 Regents exam to help keep test day organized. If you receive an invitation, be sure it bring it with you to the test. If not, don’t worry! Not all schools use this system.
  • Snack: Don’t let hunger pangs distract you from doing your best on the Algebra 1 Regents exam! Pack a small snack to eat before the exam. Some great “brain foods” include nuts, blueberries, pumpkin seeds, and dark chocolate.

What NOT to bring to the Regents Algebra 1 Exam

  • Cell phones: The New York State Education Department exam administration directions prohibit students from bringing cell phones and other personal electronic devices to their Regents exam rooms.

    If you’re caught using a cell phone during the exam, your test might be invalidated. Play it safe and leave all cell phones, MP3 players, and other electronic devices at home.
  • Review notes and cheat sheets: The time to study is over. You’ll have access to the official Regents Algebra 1 reference sheet during the exam, so leave your other Regents review packets and study materials outside the examination room.
  • Scrap paper: Students are not permitted to bring their own scrap paper to the exam. But don’t worry! The Regents Algebra 1 exam booklet includes a piece of perforated graph paper for students to use while taking the exam. You may also write in the blank spaces in your exam booklet. Just remember, any work you show on your scrap paper will not be scored.

What reference sheets are given for Algebra 1 Regents?

The Best Algebra 1 Regents Review Guide for 2022 | Albert Resources (13)

Students will have access to the Algebra 1 Regents reference sheet for the entire exam. Don’t spend too much time memorizing the quadratic formula or the conversion rate between gallons and liters. This information — and more — will be provided for you in the reference sheet in your exam booklet.

Here’s the thing:

Just having access to these formulas is not enough to pass the Algebra 1 Regents exam. Take the time to familiarize yourself with the formulas on the reference sheet and practice using them in application questions.

We’ve studied trends in released Algebra 1 Regents exams to see how the formulas from the reference sheets are used in the test. With this information, we’ve built a practice companion for the Algebra 1 Regents reference sheet.

Spend some time getting comfortable using these formulas and equations. Check out our reference sheet guide where we detail the formulas, what to think when you see them, and give you practice questions to try applying them yourself.

Do you think you’re ready to put the Algebra 1 Regents reference sheet to good use?

See if you can answer the following questions:

  • How do you find the height of a triangle or parallelogram?
  • Which part of a circle is the radius?
  • What kind of triangles does the Pythagorean theorem work for?
  • How do you notate the terms of a sequence?
  • When do you use degrees and when do you use radians?

If you’re struggling with those questions, the Algebra 1 Regents reference sheet might not do you much good. Spend some time with our practice companion to build your confidence using the formulas and equations.

How many questions do you need to get right to pass the Algebra 1 Regents test?

As of 2014, students’ Algebra 1 Regents exams are graded on a five-tier scale:

Performance Level

Scale Score

Description

5

85-100

Exceeds Common Core expectations

4

80-84

Meets Common Core expectations

3

65-79

Partially meets Common Core expectations; meets NYS graduation requirements

2

55-64

Does not meet Common Core expectations or NYS graduation requirements

1

0-54

Does not demonstrate knowledge and skills needed for Level 2

So, to pass the Algebra 1 Regents exam, you need to reach Performance Level 3 with a scale score of at least 65.

The scale scores for the Algebra 1 Regents are based on a curve that changes each year. This curve depends on many factors, including the difficulty of the questions and the skills assessed on a given test. It’s also based on the number of credits you earn on the test, which is called your raw score.

Based on the New York State Education Department score conversion charts from January 2020, August 2019, and June 2019, you need a raw score of about 27 to achieve the scale score of 65.

How do you get a raw score of 27?

Remember, the Algebra 1 Regents exam is made up of four distinct parts where questions are worth a different number of credits:

  • Part I: 24 MCQs, each worth 2 credits
  • Part II: 8 CRQs, each worth 2 credits
  • Part III: 4 CRQs, each worth 4 credits
  • Part IV: 1 CRQ worth 6 credits

So, there are 86 total credits on the exam. To get a raw score of 27, you need to earn 27 of these credits.

Here’s the thing:

It doesn’t matter where these credits come from. You could hypothetically get 14 multiple choice questions correct for a raw score of 28 and pass the exam without ever looking at Parts II, III, or IV.

Of course, many students want to do more than simply pass the exam. Students hoping to achieve the prestigious Regents Diploma with Honors designation need to average at least 90% on their ELA, math, science, social studies, and pathway regents exam. For the Algebra 1 Regents, students must earn at least 78 of the 86 possible credits to obtain a 90%.

How do you find out your Algebra 1 Regents score? When do scores release?

The Best Algebra 1 Regents Review Guide for 2022 | Albert Resources (14)

You’ll receive your Algebra 1 Regents exam score from your school or the school at which you took the Regents exam. Your school might choose to display your score on an online student portal or as part of your report card. It will also appear on your high school transcript.

For specifics on where to find your Regents exam score, talk to your teachers, guidance counselor, or school administration.

The time it takes to receive your Algebra 1 Regents exam score depends on your school as well. If you’re feeling impatient, remember that a lot needs to happen in order for you to get your score.

According to the NYSED Directions for Administering Regents Examinations, at least three different teachers must score your Constructed Response Questions to make sure your scores are accurate. Plus, a random sample of machine-scored answer sheets need to be verified by hand as well. Once all exams have been scored, school administration starts sharing exam scores with students and their families.

Feeling anxious about when and how you’ll get your Algebra 1 Regents exam score? On the day of your exam, ask your test administrator how long it will take for your score to be ready and how you can access it.

To see how you might have scored, try out our free Algebra 1 Regents score calculator.

Can you retake the Regents exam?

Did you not pass the Algebra 1 Regents exam on your first try? Are you just not thrilled with your score?

Don’t sweat it.

You can retake the Algebra 1 Regents exam as many times as you’d like.

However, keep in mind that your school might not offer the Regents examination at all three opportunities in January, June, and August. Additionally, your school might not let you retake an exam that you’ve already passed to try to increase your score.

In these cases, you might need to speak to your guidance counselor or administrator to register for the exam at another school or testing facility. Make sure you register far enough in advance — you would hate to miss the August examination and have to wait 5 months to take the next test in January!

Want to know the best part? Your highest Algebra 1 Regents exam score — not your most recent score — will be counted on your transcript. Check out one of our Algebra 1 Regents study plansto maximize your next Regents score!

Important Dates to Remember for Algebra 1 Regents Exam (+ downloadable)

The Best Algebra 1 Regents Review Guide for 2022 | Albert Resources (15)

When is the Algebra 1 Regents Exam? Complete Schedule

The New York Department of Education administers Regents exams three times a year, typically in January, June, and August. Knowing this is important because this means students have three opportunities to score as high as they can in a school year: once at the beginning of the year, at the midpoint, and at the end of a standard academic calendar.

The Algebra 1 Regents exam is typically an earlier exam in the Regents testing schedule. We reviewed the last five years of Regents testing going back to 2016 and found two testing patterns:

  1. The Algebra 1 Regents exam most commonly falls into the afternoon slot of the second or third day of testing for January and June test days. Students recently took the Algebra 1 Regents exam at 1:15 PM on Wednesday, January 22, 2020. Their next opportunity for the math test will be 1:15 PM on Thursday, June 18, 2020.
  2. The August test date for the Algebra 1 Regents exam is scheduled for 8:30 AM on Thursday, August 13th, 2020. Looking back the last five years, the Algebra 1 exam has consistently been set in the first testing slot of the two-day August Regents testing schedule.

Looking ahead to 2021, the state has set next year’s Regents testing windows as January 26-January 29th, June 16-June 25, and August 12-13.

If trends follow, that means the Algebra 1 Regents exams will likely be scheduled for:

  • 1:15 PM on January 27th, 2021
  • 1:15 PM on June 17th, 2021 or June 18th, 2021
  • 8:30 AM on August 12th, 2021

Most of them fall into the camp of repackaging previously released tests that you can get for free and add little to no additional value. That being said, this packet stood out and was reasonably priced at $6.

  • Use this review packet for: A 40-page overview of every topic covered in Algebra 1 including worked through examples from past exams. Ideal for last-minute review.
  • Don’t use this resource if: You already feel confident on the overarching topics covered in Algebra 1 Regents and simply are looking for practice questions. We’ll tell you what to use in the next section for a more seamless study experience.
