Free Regents Tools — score calculator & curve history
Two questions, one page per exam. The first: what does your raw score convert to? The score calculator reads it out of the chart NYSED published for the exact sitting your child took. The second: has this exam got harder? Every exam page carries its own curve history underneath the calculator — what a 65 cost at every published administration, in raw points and as a share of the paper.
Score below where it needs to be? The next sitting comes round faster than it looks.
The two tools
Both answers sit on your exam's page
They read the same source — the conversion chart NYSED published for each administration — and they answer opposite questions, so they belong on the same page rather than on two. Neither one predicts anything about an exam that has not been given.
“What does this score convert to?”
Regents Score Calculator
Pick the exam, pick the administration your child actually sat, enter the raw score. The scale score comes straight from that session's chart — never from a chart for a different one, and never worked out with a percentage. 16,209 raw-to-scale pairs across 11 exams.

“Has this exam got harder?”
Regents Curve History
For every published administration of an exam: the raw points it took to reach 65, the raw points it took to reach 85, and both as a share of that session's raw total — because the size of the exam moves too. NYSED publishes 206 of these charts and no comparison of any kind; this is the comparison. It sits under the calculator on each exam's page, 11 exams of 13.

Exam by exam
Go straight to your exam
Every exam has one page, with the full chart for its most recent administration in the page and the curve history under it. 11 of the 13 carry that history: a series drawn over one or two points is not a series, so exams with fewer than 4 published administrations are left out of that column until NYSED publishes more. Two of them — Global History and Geography II and United States History and Government — have no single raw score at all: NYSED converts them on a two-way chart, so their pages ask for the objective-parts score and the essay score separately and read the final score where the two meet.

Beyond the Regents
Six more, for everything either side of them
The Regents are the exams a New York student has to pass. These six are for the rest of it — the admission tests before high school, the college tests after, the diploma the Regents add up to, and the question underneath all of it, which school. All free, none asks for an account, and each says plainly what it will not do.
“Is it still in time?”
Test Registration Planner
Pick the exam — SHSAT, ISEE, SSAT, SAT, ACT or PSAT — and the date you are aiming at. It tells you which registration window is still open, the day it shuts, and the fee that applies now that the earlier one has gone. Rules, never a calendar we made up: the ISEE has no national list of dates, so you enter the one your centre gave you.

“What does this stanine mean?”
ISEE Score Explainer
Enter a percentile or a stanine, section by section, and read what it actually says: the band, the ±1 range the publisher itself prescribes, and what the comparison group is — other ISEE candidates, not all children that age. It will not convert correct answers into a scaled score, and it explains why nobody honestly can.
Read a score report →
“Would that score have got in?”
SHSAT Score Calculator
Enter a composite score and see where it falls against the lowest score that received an offer at each of the eight specialized high schools, for ninth and tenth grade entry. Read straight from the Department of Education’s own figures. There is no cutoff score to hit — offers go out in score order against each student’s ranked list, and the lowest one is only known afterwards. It will not turn a raw practice score into a composite, because no published table does that.

“Which diploma do these add up to?”
Regents Diploma Requirements
Enter the Regents exams already passed and read which New York diploma those results open, what advanced designation still needs, and the State rule behind every line, each with the page it comes from. It does not award or deny anything: your district decides, keeps the transcript the decision rests on, and may add requirements of its own on top of the State’s.

“Which questions did my child miss?”
SHSAT Practice Test Checker (official DOE Tests A-D)
New York City Public Schools publishes four printable SHSAT practice tests, Forms A to D. Pick the form your child sat, type the letters from the answer sheet, and get the number right in each section and the list of items missed, each linked to the page of the city’s Explanations Appendix that explains it. The answers stay in your browser, so a later form can sit next to the first. It gives no scaled score: the real exam is adaptive, and the city publishes no table that turns right answers into one.

“How did the practice test go?”
ISEE Practice Test Scorer
ERB’s free guides each contain a full ISEE practice test — Lower, Middle and Upper Level. Type the answers from the sheet and get the raw score per section, the scaled-score range from ERB’s own table for that test, where it sits for applicants to your grade, and which question types cost points. It gives a range, never a single score, and it is a practice-test conversion, not an official ISEE result.

“Where does this school actually stand?”
NYC High School SAT Scoreboard
The official average SAT score of every New York City public high school that reported one — 549 schools, 2017 to 2024 — sortable, with a page and a graphed series for each school. The city publishes these figures as open data and compares them to nothing; this is the comparison. Read straight from New York City Department of Education’s own release, never a ranking we invented.

“How far is this PSAT from our school’s SAT?”
PSAT vs School SAT
Enter a PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT 10 or PSAT 8/9 total and pick a high school: the SAT level the score points to on College Board’s shared scale, the school’s own average SAT, the gap, and where the score sits against every school on the scoreboard. It will not project a score from months of tutoring, because College Board publishes no such model — only a same-day reading and its general six-month figure.
Compare a PSAT score →
“Can my 6th grader sit the Hunter exam?”
Hunter College High School Eligibility
Enter the 5th grade NYS ELA and Math scale scores, or the percentiles from another approved test, and read which route Hunter’s own rules put your child on: the standard application, the Academic Insights Profile for students just below the cutoff, or neither. Then the dates, and what the January exam contains, including the two math sections Hunter took from the ISEE Middle Level. It does not estimate admission chances: Hunter publishes no exam cutoff and gives families no score.

“Is this Regents getting harder?”
What a 65 costs, exam by exam, 2014–2026
A 65 is not a fixed number of correct answers: NYSED writes the conversion chart after each sitting is marked, and the raw score that lands on 65 moves. This takes that one number out of every published chart — 203 sittings across 9 exams — and shows, per exam, whether it has been asking for more of the paper over time. The calculator above answers “what is my score”; this answers the question a family asks before the year starts.

The scoreboard is not a widget, it is a published dataset — and it is not the only thing we release that way. Everything we publish as open data, with its source, its licence and its download links, is listed on our open data page.
Applying to Catholic high schools? Many of them read the TACHS, a different test with a figure-reasoning section. Try our free TACHS practice questions, marked on screen, and check the TACHS dates and registration.
A number is a starting point, not a plan
These tools tell you where a score sits. What they cannot tell you is what to do about it — and the gap to a 65 is almost always a small number of raw points, which is a few weeks of work rather than a lost year. Our Regents tutoring page sets out how we work backwards from the January date to a weekly plan, subject by subject.
Families who land here often arrive with the other question — not what a score converts to, but which Regents is actually the hardest to pass, and whether the one their child is sitting has got tougher. That one has an answer, and it is a measured one: what a 65 has cost on every exam from 2014 to 2026 ranks them on the share of the paper you have to get right, which is the only comparison that holds when the exams are not the same size.
For everything else — how New York's tests fit together, what admissions actually look at, when to start — the GeniusPrep blog is where we write it down.
