How Well Do Regents/Regular Courses Prepare You For College?

My Regents Chemistry teacher refuses to give us the reference tables, makes us memorize everythings, asks AP/SAT II type questions, and calls it an Honors Regents class. It’s ridiculous.

OP - Your point about Honors students becoming AP students is a good point, and a good opportunity. My public school also has Honors admission for Math and Science in 8th grade. However, if there is room in the classes, those with excellent grades can be approached by their teacher, and “invited” into Honors classes. Good luck, and hope you get into the Honors classes you deserve! Will APs be hard to get into as well? I really think it’s unfair that 7th/8th grade performance should affect sophomore/junior AP classes this heavily.

@nightpwnsj00 - Global was the easiest class on the planet, complete joke. I didn’t know there was a US regents? Maybe I took it in 7th/8th grade? I took a couple Regents in middle school too.
