United States History and Government Regents conversion chart — two scores in, one final score out

This exam has no single raw score. NYSED converts it with a two-way chart: your Total Part I, Part II, and Part IIIA Score down the side, your Total Part IIIB Essay Score across the top, and the final examination score where they meet. On the August 2026 administration a 65 took 27 of 44 objective points with an essay of 0, and 12 with an essay of 5 — the same exam, the same sitting, 15 points apart. Pick the exact sitting below; nothing here applies to an exam that has not been given.

There is no chart for an exam that has not been given yet. NYSED publishes the conversion grid for an administration only after that administration has been scored, and the grid genuinely moves between sittings. This tool reads published grids and nothing else. Anyone telling a student what scores will earn a 65 at a future sitting is making it up.

Essay scores from which an 85 is out of reach, August 2026

At an essay score of 0 or 0.5, no objective score on the chart — not even a perfect 44 — reaches 85. NYSED's own chart tops out below it.

The full session-by-session record — the objective score a 65 and an 85 took at each of the 11 essay scores, from June 2023 to August 2026, where at an essay of 2.5 alone the 65 line has run from 20 to 22 points — is on the United States History and Government curve history page, with the NYSED file for each sitting.

Questions

United States History and Government scoring, answered

What is the raw score needed to pass the United States History and Government Regents?

There is no single raw score on this exam, and that is not a technicality: NYSED publishes a two-way chart rather than a list. The final score sits where the Total Part I, Part II, and Part IIIA Score and the Total Part IIIB Essay Score meet. On the August 2026 administration a 65 took 27 points out of 44 on the objective parts if the essay scored 0, and only 12 if the essay scored 5. Any site quoting one number for this exam has flattened one of the two axes.

Why is the United States History and Government essay scored in half points?

Because NYSED's chart is indexed that way: the Total Part IIIB Essay Score axis takes exactly 11 values — 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5 — and nothing in between. A score of 3.7 does not exist on the chart, which is why the tool above offers a list rather than a free-text box. If a combination is not on the axes, the tool says so instead of showing the nearest cell.

Can a United States History and Government student reach an 85 on the objective parts alone?

No — and the chart says so out loud. On the August 2026 administration, an essay score of 0 or 0.5 puts 85 out of reach entirely: even a perfect 44 on the Total Part I, Part II, and Part IIIA Score does not reach a final score of 85 in those columns. The lowest essay score from which 85 is reachable at all is 1. That is the single most useful thing this chart tells a student aiming high, and it is the reason the curve history page prints those cells as "out of reach" rather than as a dash.

Which United States History and Government administrations are covered?

11, from June 2023 to August 2026, each one a separate NYSED chart of 45 rows by 11 columns. The administrations cancelled around the pandemic — June 2020, August 2020, January 2021, August 2021, January 2022 — are absent because they were never held, and nothing is interpolated across them.

Does the United States History and Government chart show a performance level?

No. NYSED publishes no performance-level column on this exam's conversion charts, so none is shown. Working one out from the final score would mean inventing it.

Where does this United States History and Government data come from?

From the conversion chart spreadsheets NYSED publishes on nysedregents.org — 11 files for this exam alone, 5,445 cells in total, each linked from its own result in the tool above. They are re-downloaded and re-parsed automatically, and nothing is published if a checksum moves, a file changes shape, or the grid changes size. Last verified September 7, 2026.

Where these figures come from
