They are used by school personnel to identify major learning goals, offering both teachers and students a guide to important understandings, skills, and concepts. The examinations also provide students, parents, counselors, administrators, college admissions officers, and employers with objective and easily understood achievement information for use in making sound educational and vocational decisions.

Regents Competency Test:
Show data for

(State average from 681 schools)
Regents Competency Tests (RCTs) are achievement tests designed to assess basic proficiency in the areas of reading, writing, mathematics, science, and social studies.In the past, schools could award local high school diplomas to students who passed all six RCTs as well as the required coursework.The Department, in accordance with a timetable that was adopted by the Board of Regents, has phased out the eligibility of general education students in public schools to take these tests.Students are instead required to pass the Regents Examinations in order to receive a high school diploma.However, the RCTs continue to be available for students with disabilities who first enter grade 9 prior to the 2010-11 school year as part of a safety net for such students.To earn a high school diploma, students with disabilities must take each Regents Examination ordinarily required for graduation at least once.If unsuccessful on one or more of the required Regents Examinations, eligible students with disabilities may be granted a local high school diploma on the basis of passing the corresponding RCT(s).
