Practice the new exam format

Read the context. Apply the science. Explain your answer.

01

Context-bridged models, not isolated recall

On the old exam, a prompt directly asked for a Lewis dot diagram of CO2. On June 2026 Cluster 3: Equilibria in the Blood (Q12), the prompt asks you to “model the gas released from the liver cells into the plasma”—you must first read the biological buffering diagram to identify CO2, then draw its double-bonded structure on the canvas.

02

Stimulus tables replace removed 2011 tables

Eighteen lookup tables from 2011 (including Table S, Table B water constants, and Table M indicators) are gone. On June 2026 Cluster 5: Urban Heat Islands (Q20), you pull brick mass (2,700 g) from the passage, brick specific heat (0.84 J/g·°C) from the cluster table, and q = mcΔT from Page 4 of the 2025 Reference Tables.

Practice library by subject

Every released NYSP12SLS cluster plus full-length practice exams.

Physical Science: Physics

365 questions across 73 clusters: 65 official NYSED questions (released 2026 exams and 2025 sample clusters) plus 300 questions across 6 original full-length practice exams.

Free samples & full library access

Start as a guest. Unlock Chemistry and Physics with one membership.

The official NYSED sample clusters, 2025 Reference Tables guides, and released exam PDFs are free without signing in. Guest work saves in your browser and transfers into your account when you sign in.

One New Regents membership opens the full Chemistry and Physics libraries, including released exams and original full-length practice exams inside the interactive workspace—with Learn mode strategy prompts, Exam mode rehearsal, print-faithful booklet view, and progress tracking across clusters. A parent can complete checkout while the student keeps their own sign-in.

Multiple-choice questions are checked automatically against the stored key. Constructed responses, mathematical setups, and models use rubric-guided self-review after cluster submission. Progress distinguishes first attempts from assisted or repeated runs and is not a predicted Regents scale score.

Frequently asked questions

What does New Regents membership include?
For $29.99 USD per month, one membership includes the full Chemistry and Physics libraries, interactive question sets, full exams, scoring guides, and saved progress. Renews monthly; cancel anytime. Official sample clusters in both subjects are free.
Which Regents exams does New Regents cover?
New Regents covers New York's NYSP12SLS Physical Science: Chemistry and Physical Science: Physics exams. Both subjects include official NYSED sample clusters, released exams, the 2025 Reference Tables, and original full-length practice exams.
What is the format of the new NYSP12SLS Chemistry and Physics Regents exams?
Both new Regents exams are 3-hour assessments consisting of 45 to 55 questions grouped into 9 to 11 phenomenon clusters (~60% multiple choice and ~40% constructed response), with every question worth 1 raw credit. Chemistry students use the 4-page 2025 Edition Reference Tables for Physical Science: Chemistry, and Physics students use the 2025 Edition Reference Tables for Physical Science: Physics.
Can I try official new-format Chemistry or Physics Regents clusters for free without an account?
Yes. The official 2025 NYSED sample clusters for both Chemistry (/chemistry/sample-clusters) and Physics (/physics/sample-clusters), the 2025 Reference Tables guides, and the released exam PDFs are completely free on New Regents with no account or credit card required.
