Regents Prep Websites 2013
Full Practice Tests

The English Regents is Monday , January 26th at 1:15pm
Welcome to the Regents prep section.  The English Regents test is a literacy test, as such, we will practice strategies for the test throughout all of our units.  In 2013, my students created regents prep websites- check out the link above for some awesome resources!
Parents: The best way to help is to encourage your child to read a mixture of both non-fiction (newspaper!) and fiction texts (any book!) every night.  This is a literacy test and we are practicing the skills needed most days in many of your child's classes. I will be sure to spend time making your daughter comfortable with the test format and critical lens essay in addition to practicing strategies for reading comprehension.

(Some) Ways to Study: 
  • Check out the links below for each section- there are tips, advice, even me reading a listening passage for practice!
  • Take practice tests and check your answers (full practice tests are linked below.)  Print them out! 
  • Be sure to look at models of each writing section so you understand what is expected!
  • Check out my student's websites for advice (linked above!)

Try out this practice exam with Listening Section read by me!
