Hello everyone! We have a large contingent of students who come to us from the State of New York and complain about taking our placement exams or developmental courses because they have already taken the Regents' exams. Can anyone from the New York area explain these tests to me? Are they functional tests, honors tests, AP tests, etc.? Are they critical-thinking-based or knowledge-based? Who takes them and why? Are the scores important to the higher education institutions in the State of New York (particularly 4-year institutions)? We have tried asking our students and their parents and we get many very different answers. Thanks so much for your help. Please respond off-list unless you receive other requests to post this information. Stefanie Hunt
