Wait to see your score and then decide. My younger daughter just took it yesterday. She is a great math student, but she would have had a ton of errors if she had taken the test and left at the 2 hour mark without checking over the entire exam again at least once. She said most people did that. She stayed almost the full 3 hours and checked over her test more than once, catching many silly errors. Whether you choose to retake this one or whether you don’t, make sure for future exams that you take the full amount of time and check over your work often. It’s super easy to misread a number or have your eyes skip over words like “not”, “average”, etc.

When you see your score, remembering there is a curve, you can decide whether you need to retake it. That might depend on whether it could effect the advanced designation if you want it on your diploma or if it effects National Honor Society invitations, etc. if you are a freshman (or younger and taking advanced math), then you have years to decide whether you want to retake it. My older daughter did have a couple of friends who decided to retake algebra 1 regents exams more than a year after they took it the first time.
