What Does My Score Mean?

The History Regents exams are WEIGHTED. This means that each section has a certain value.

To determine your score on the Regents exam, you add the total of your multiple choice (part I) with the DBQ Short Answer (IIIA). Then, you add that total to the combined score of your thematic (part II) and DBQ Essays (part IIIB).

The chart changes with each exam. For the information related to the practice exam, Click HERE
