Living Environment Regents conversion chart — raw score to scale score, session by session

On the June 2026 administration it took 40 raw points out of 85 to reach a scale score of 65. That number belongs to that sitting and to no other: across the 32 published Living Environment charts we hold, the raw points needed for a 65 have ranged from 40 to 41. 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 2014 to June 2026, which is the complete record for this exam. If you want to know how much the requirement has moved between sittings, the curve history further down this page shows the raw points needed for a 65 at every published administration — which is the honest version of that question.

Because NYSED does not publish one on this exam's charts. Living Environment is one of the pre-Common-Core Regents, reported on four derived levels rather than five, and its conversion charts carry a raw-score column and a scale-score column only. Printing a level here would mean inventing it, so the tool shows none.

32 of them, from June 2014 to June 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.

No. New York State stopped administering this exam after June 2026, replacing it with Life Science: Biology. The charts below are the full published record; there will be no later session. New York moved to the new science standards exams — Life Science: Biology, Earth and Space Sciences, Physical Science: Chemistry and Physical Science: Physics. These charts are here for students who already sat this exam and need to read their score, not as preparation for a future sitting.

Across the 32 published administrations, the raw points needed for a 65 have ranged from 40 to 41 — a spread of 1 points. The curve history below shows the same requirement as a share of the paper, which is the view that survives a change in the size of the exam. What none of this supports is a claim about the next sitting.

Because those administrations never took place: June 2020, August 2020, January 2021, August 2021, January 2022 were cancelled around the pandemic. The lines break rather than jumping the gap — the drawing code emits a new segment whenever two points are not consecutive sittings — because joining them would draw a data point that does not exist. Where a special administration was held, it is labelled rather than treated as an ordinary session.

Yes. The whole dataset — this exam and every other one — is downloadable as CSV from the links in the curve history below, and the figures are NYSED’s, reproduced as published. Each row of the session table links to the NYSED file it came from, so anything here can be checked against the source in one click.

From the conversion chart spreadsheets NYSED publishes on nysedregents.org — 32 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 7, 2026.
