Prepare students for exams with the Portal's Assessments feature

Good day! 🙂

Use the Portal's Assessment feature to administer full mock Regents exams and shorter, curriculum-aligned Interim Assessments (IAs) that help you gauge student readiness, build confidence, and improve Regents performance.

Unlike full mock exams, IAs fit in one class period and run about ¼ to ⅓ the length of a traditional Regents exam, so teachers can monitor progress and target instruction early in the year. The IA sequence culminates in a full-length mock Regents exam typically in the spring, where students practice content mastery, test-taking skills, and endurance.

The Portal offers a variety of past Regents exams to use as full mocks, plus IAs in multiple subjects. Click the button below to see the full list!
