Good day! 🙂

Administering mock Regents exams provides valuable data for assessing student readiness, building student confidence, and improving student performance on the actual Regents exams. The Portal by New Visions offers support to school leaders and teachers with analyzing mock Regents data.

Fall 2025 included exams

The following exams will be available to administer through New Visions, starting in Oct 2025:

  • ELA (June 2024)

  • Algebra I (June 2024)

  • Geometry (June 2024)

  • Algebra II (June 2024)

  • Global History (June 2024)

  • US History (June 2024)

  • Living Environment (June 2023)

Special note about the Science exams

Given the phase in of the new NYSSLS standards, we strongly recommend that you only administer Living and Earth Science mocks for students repeating those exam, and NOT to use them for first-time takers of the new NYSSLS Biology or Earth & Space exams. For first-time takers sitting for the new exams we recommend using New Visions’ interim assessment spreadsheet tools. Learn more here

Special note about ELA exams

If you plan on administering an ELA mock, make sure you pay close attention to the special instructions for scoring the ELA essays.
