Revision of the New June 2008 Physical Setting/Earth Science Performance Test (Part D)
Change in the Procedures for Students Retaking the Regents Examination in Physical Setting/Earth Science.

A revision has been made to the originally planned June 2008 Physical Setting/Earth Science Performance Test (Part D).  The new version of the Part D will include hands-on laboratory activities that students will perform at three stations rather than four.   In addition, effective June 2008, all students taking the June 2008 Regents Examination in Physical Setting/Earth Science, including those retaking the written examination, must take the new version of the Part D. Scores earned on the Earth Science Performance Test in conjunction with prior administrations of this written examination may no longer be carried over and applied to the student’s final examination score for this Regents Examination.
