Geometry Regents conversion chart — raw score to scale score, session by session

On the August 2026 administration it took 35 raw points out of 80 to reach a scale score of 65. That number belongs to that sitting and to no other: across the 29 published Geometry charts we hold, the raw points needed for a 65 have ranged from 29 to 36. Use the calculator above with the exact administration your child sat.

No. NYSED publishes a conversion chart only after an administration has been scored, so no chart exists for a sitting that has not happened. The charts here run from June 2015 to August 2026. If you want to know how much the requirement has moved between sittings, the curve history page shows the raw points needed for a 65 at every published administration — which is the honest version of that question.

Yes, where NYSED prints the column — and the tool reports it exactly as printed rather than working it out from the scale score. Inside one chart the levels never overlap: a given scale score belongs to exactly one level. What moves is the chart. Across the 29 Geometry charts that carry the column, the top of the Level 3 band has sat at 79, the same on every published chart. A level worked out from a generic table would still be wrong here, because that table would have to guess which chart it came from.. The level is read from the row your raw score falls on, or it is not shown.

29 of them, from June 2015 to August 2026. Sessions earlier than June 2014 exist only as PDFs on the NYSED site and are not covered here. The administrations cancelled around the pandemic — June 2020, August 2020, January 2021, August 2021, January 2022 — are absent because they were never held, and the special June 2021 administration, where it applies, is labelled as such rather than folded in with the ordinary sittings.

Yes — the raw total went from 86 to 80 points at the January 2018 administration. This is why a chart from one year cannot be used to read a score from another, and why the curve history page shows the requirement both in raw points and as a share of the raw total: without the second view, a change in the size of the exam reads as a change in difficulty.

From the conversion chart spreadsheets NYSED publishes on nysedregents.org — 29 files for this exam alone, each linked from its own result in the calculator. They are re-downloaded and re-parsed automatically, and nothing is published if a checksum moves, a file changes shape, or the reference values stop matching. Last verified September 2, 2026.
