Where to Find the Scoring Materials
During the June 2026 Regents Examination period — June 9, 10, 17, 18, 23, 24, and 25, 2026 — the NYSED website will provide timely information and guidance on the administration and scoring of each exam being administered.
The official page to bookmark is:
nysed.gov/state-assessment/june-2026-regents-examination-scoring-information
Each subject also has its own dedicated page on nysedregents.org where scoring keys, rating guides, and conversion charts are posted separately.
What Is Included in the Scoring Materials
For each Regents exam, NYSED posts three types of scoring materials.
The scoring key lists the correct answers for all multiple-choice questions. It is available as both a PDF and an Excel file.
The rating guide provides instructions for scoring constructed-response and essay questions. It includes sample responses and point values for each rubric level.
The conversion chart converts a student’s raw score into a scaled score between 0 and 100.
Conversion Chart Release Dates by Subject
Most conversion charts are posted on exam day. However, a few exams require additional scoring time before the chart can be finalized.

Important Scoring Clarification — Algebra II Question 26
NYSED issued a scoring clarification for the June 2026 Regents Examination in Algebra II, Question 26, all editions.
If you are scoring Algebra II, review this clarification on the NYSED scoring information page before finalizing scores for that question.
The clarification applies to all editions of the exam and affects how full or partial credit should be assigned for that specific question only.
How to Open Password-Protected Files
All scoring keys and rating guides posted on the department’s website will be password-protected. You must use Adobe Acrobat X or higher to open the secure PDFs. If you are using an earlier version of Adobe Acrobat Reader or Professional, you will not be able to open the secure PDF documents even with the proper password.
The password for each exam’s scoring materials is distributed to school administrators separately. Teachers should obtain the password from their school’s testing coordinator or principal before attempting to access the files.
If you are using a Chromebook or browser-based PDF viewer, download the file first and then open it in the full Adobe Acrobat application.
How Conversion Charts Work
The conversion chart translates a student’s raw score — the total points earned — into a scaled score between 0 and 100.
It is crucial that, for each administration, only the conversion chart provided for that specific administration be used to determine the final score. Using a chart from a different year or administration will produce an incorrect scaled score.
To use the chart: find the student’s total raw score in the “Raw Score” column, then read across to find the corresponding scaled score.
A scaled score of 65 or higher is passing for a Regents diploma. A score of 85 or higher earns the Mastery designation.
