What's Next?

      For those who are unaware of the news in mathematics education, the New York State Board of Regents decided in 2017 to revise and replace the Common Core State Standards. These standards, named the "Next Generation Learning Standards", are set to roll out sometime in the 2019-2020 or 2020-2021 school year; the board has been unclear about the rollout and testing of these new standards.
      Naturally, these new standards will have a direct impact on NYS Mathematics Regents Preparation in the coming years. This site will have to continue undergoing constant developments and changes to keep up with the new standards. Here's our plan:

1. NYS Mathematics Regents Preparation will continue to publish video solutions of all regents exams in Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2, right up to the very last administered exam.
2. NYS Mathematics Regents Preparation will publish the first three NGLS aligned regents exams approximately 2 months after it is released to properly examine the questions being asked, and to make effective teaching videos.
3. NYS Mathematics Regents Preparation will publish our popular "Facts You Must Know Cold for the Regents Exam" study guides ​only after there are three released regents exams in a particular subject area. This means that the study guides will be released in the ​second school year that the new standards are in the curriculum. For example, if the first Geometry Regents exam is in June 2021, the study guide will only become available in the following year in April 2022. This will allow us to look carefully at the June, August, and January administrations to develop these new study guides.
4. More materials will be added with these new standards on our website!
