How is the Chemistry Regents set up?

Part A - Multiple-Choice
A multiple-choice question offers several answers from which you choose the one that best answers the question or completes the statement. This part of the exam has content-based questions assessing your knowledge and understanding of core material and represents approximately 35 percent of the examination.

Part B1 - Multiple-Choice
This section of Part B consists of multiple-choice questions as described in Part A. These questions are content- and skills-based and designed to assess your ability to apply, analyze, and evaluate material. The combined sections of Part B (multiple-choice plus constructed-response) represent approximately 30 percent of the examination.

Part B2 - Constructed-Response
In a constructed-response question there is no list of choices from which to choose an answer; rather you are required to provide the answer. Constructed-response questions test skills that include performing numerical calculations, drawing and interpreting graphs, and analyzing material. The combined sections of Part B represent approximately 30 percent of the examination.

Part C - Extended Constructed-Response
These are constructed-response questions that require more time and effort on your part to answer.
