Questions people ask

How long is the Geometry Regents?

Students are allowed three hours to complete the booklet.

What tools can I use?

Every student has a graphing calculator for the whole exam, and a compass and straightedge must be available. A reference sheet is included at the end of the booklet.

Should I use 3.14 for pi?

No. Use the pi key on the calculator unless a question says otherwise.
