There have been numerous inquiries about what high school credit can be awarded for mathematics courses in grades seven and eight in relation to Regents examinations for Mathematics A (Math A) and Mathematics B (Math B). In the past, students had to pass both the course and the Regents Examination in order to receive high school credit in grades seven or eight.
In keeping with the new Part 100 regulations, the following criteria will be used to determine accelerated high school credits using the new Regents examinations.

The principal may permit individual students with extenuating circumstances, such as illness, to postpone the taking of the Regents examination if they continue in the accelerated program.
