Regents Score Calculator — the real chart, for the exam your child actually sat

It depends on which exam and which administration — that is the whole point of this tool, and it is why a single number circulating on a forum is worthless. On the June 2026 Algebra I exam, 29 raw points out of 82 produced a 65. On the June 2026 Living Environment exam, it took 40 raw points out of 85. Pick the exam and the session above and the tool reads the answer out of the chart NYSED published for that sitting.

No, and no honest tool can. NYSED publishes the raw-to-scale conversion for an administration only after that administration has been scored, and the numbers move: the Algebra I raw total dropped from 86 points to 82 in June 2024, Algebra II did the same in June 2026, and Geometry went from 86 to 80 in 2018. The Level 3 band in Algebra I ran 65 to 73 in August 2015 and 65 to 79 in June 2016. A site that tells a student the raw score that will pass a future sitting is inventing it. What this tool offers instead is the full published record — see the curve history pages, which show what the last several sittings of each exam actually required.

Because NYSED does not publish one on those charts. The Living Environment, Physical Setting: Chemistry and Physical Setting: Physics conversion charts have no performance-level column at all — they are the pre-Common-Core exams, reported on four derived levels rather than five. Showing a level there would mean inventing it. Where the chart carries the column, as it does for Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry and ELA, the level is displayed exactly as published.

Because the level a scale score belongs to changes from one administration to the next. Inside a single NYSED chart the levels never overlap — a given scale score belongs to exactly one level, and we checked that on all 206 charts served here. But the cut moves: on Algebra I the Level 3 band ran 65–73 in August 2015, 65–79 in June 2016, and 65–74 in August 2026. A scale score of 75 is therefore a Level 4 in 2015, a Level 3 in 2016, and a Level 4 again in 2026. Working the level out from a generic table would be wrong for most sittings, and 72 of the 206 charts publish no level at all. So the tool reads the level from the chart, in the row for your raw score, or shows nothing.

Eleven exams and 206 administrations, from June 2014 to August 2026: Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, English Language Arts, Life Science: Biology, Earth and Space Sciences, Physical Science: Chemistry and Physical Science: Physics, plus Living Environment (last given June 2026) and Physical Setting: Chemistry and Physical Setting: Physics, which New York is still administering through June 2027. Sessions before June 2014 exist only as PDFs and are not covered. The five administrations cancelled around the pandemic — June 2020, August 2020, January 2021, August 2021 and January 2022 — are simply absent, because they never happened.

New York is replacing the old science exams with exams built on the new science standards, and NYSED published the dates in its Implementation Schedule for New Regents Examinations. Living Environment was given for the last time in June 2026 — its charts are a closed archive, and Life Science: Biology has replaced it. Physical Setting: Chemistry and Physical Setting: Physics are NOT closed: the schedule gives them an overlap period of four administrations, so their last sitting is June 2027. Physical Setting: Chemistry also has a January 2027 sitting; Physical Setting: Physics does not — that exam is only ever given in June, and every one of the ten charts we hold for it is a June administration. Until then they are live exams, and their charts are as useful to a student preparing for the next sitting as to one reading a score already earned. Nothing here infers a retirement from a missing file: a conversion chart only exists after an administration has been scored.

It is the one that decides a diploma credit, so it matters most. 85 is the score New York calls passing with distinction — that is the State’s own wording. What 85 does NOT do is earn a Regents Diploma with Advanced Designation: that diploma is earned by passing (65) a wider set of exams, not by scoring 85 on any of them. Where 85 counts is the Mastery in Mathematics or Mastery in Science endorsement, which requires an 85 or better on three math or three science Regents exams on top of the advanced-designation requirements; the Honors annotation is a different thing again, and asks for a computed average of 90. The tool reports both the 65 line and the 85 line for every session, because a student sitting at 66 and a student sitting at 84 have very different next steps.

Every figure is read out of the conversion chart file NYSED publishes for that specific administration on nysedregents.org — 206 spreadsheets in all, re-downloaded and re-parsed by an automated pipeline that refuses to publish if a file changes shape, a checksum moves, or the reference values stop matching. Each result on this page links to the exact NYSED file it came from. Last verified September 2, 2026.
