In section mode, enter correct Part I answers, then earned credits for the written sections. A wrong Part I answer earns zero; it does not subtract credits. Written questions earn only the whole-number credits allowed by their individual rubrics.

2. Mark the paper before converting

Use the key, rating guide, model responses and notices for the exact paper. A correct method may earn partial credit when the rubric permits it; a formula or unfinished setup does not automatically earn a point. Official Algebra II papers and scoring materials.

June 2026 Question 26 · calculator rounding clarification

For the specified calculator models that truncate the regression coefficient to two decimal places, NYSED permits full 2 credits when the regression equation is otherwise correctly written and the base is correctly rounded to the thousandth place. This is a conditional scoring clarification, not automatic credit for everyone. Mark the answer with the notice and rating guide before entering earned credits. The calculator adds no credits automatically. Read the all-editions Question 26 clarification.

The conversion is a discrete lookup, not a percentage or a line between two points. Adjacent raw totals can share a scale score. Do not combine an 86-credit total with an 82-credit chart.

3. Reproducible score examples

January 2026 · corrected levels

46 raw credits convert to scale 78, Level 4. Level 3 ends at 77 on this chart. A target of 85 requires 64 raw credits, so this practice result needs:

64−46=18

64 raw credits convert to 85, Level 5. The legend, result and source table agree.

June 2026 · weighted section entry

The June section example enters 20 correct Part I answers, 6 Part II credits, 4 Part III credits and 0 Part IV credits.

(20×2)+6+4+0=50

On June 2026, 50 raw credits convert to 77, Level 4. A target of 85 requires 64 raw credits, leaving 14 more raw credits on that same paper. On August 2026, 50 converts to 76, Level 3. The administration affects both the score and its official level.

The official level column controls the result. On January 2026, Level 4 begins at 78; on June and August 2026, it begins at 77. Level 5 begins at 85 in all six supported charts. Do not apply the Algebra I level bands to Algebra II.

65 is the common Regents passing benchmark. A score below 65 does not, by itself, decide safety-net, appeal, exemption or graduation eligibility.

One Algebra II score does not award a diploma mastery endorsement. Mastery in Mathematics requires a Regents diploma with advanced designation and normally scores of 85 or better on three mathematics Regents exams. NYSED lists specific alternatives involving granted exemptions. Your school must review the full record. NYSED graduation FAQ and mastery requirements.

6. Calculator, reference materials and exam technique

NYSED requires a graphing calculator without symbol manipulation and a ruler or straightedge. Confirm your school’s approved model. Use the reference sheet for your exam format; the official Algebra II page separates Next Generation resources from the older standards. Administration and equipment rules · Official Algebra II guides and reference sheets.

Use pen for written work and pencil for graphs and drawings as directed. Separate scrap paper is not permitted. Use the booklet spaces and supplied graph paper; follow proctor instructions when revising a graph.

Check degree or radian mode, enter parentheses carefully and retain enough digits until the requested final rounding. A calculator can check an intersection, generate a table or fit a model, but written responses still need the required reasoning. Calculator use does not guarantee a fixed score increase.

Practise with the duration printed on your paper and any approved accommodations. Reserve time for written responses and checking. If the prompt says to solve algebraically, show an algebraic method rather than only a graphing-calculator answer.

7. Correct function-transformation order

Keep the inside expression factored so the horizontal shift is read correctly. For a≠0,b≠0, write:

g(x)=af(b(x−h))+k

A point on the original graph maps as follows:

(x,y)↦(xb+h,ay+k)

Scale the horizontal coordinate first, then translate it. The horizontal coordinate is divided by b before adding h. The vertical coordinate is multiplied by a before adding k. Negative scale factors also reflect the corresponding coordinate.

Checked example: compress, then shift

Take f(x)=x2 and g(x)=f(2(x−3)). The original point (1,1) maps to:

(1,1)↦(12+3,1)=(72,1)=(3.5,1)

Substitution confirms the mapped point:

g(72)=(2(72−3))2=1
Transformation coordinates in the checked example
StepHorizontal coordinateVertical coordinate
Original point11
Divide horizontal coordinate by 2121
Translate right by 312+3=721

Shifting the original horizontal coordinate first and then dividing would produce 1+32=2, which is not the correct mapped coordinate for this expression.

8. Focused Algebra 2 revision notes

Use these reminders to diagnose missed skills, alongside the guide for your exam format. They are not predictions of topic percentages. NYSED Algebra II standards and guides.

Polynomials and complex numbers

Connect factors, zeros, multiplicity and end behavior. Check a proposed root in the original polynomial. Squaring the imaginary unit gives:

i2=−1

For example, (2+i)(2−i)=5. A real polynomial can have nonreal conjugate roots; do not discard them merely because they are not visible as horizontal-axis intercepts.

Trigonometric functions and periodic models

Use the angle unit specified by the problem. For a sinusoidal model with a nonzero horizontal factor, use:

y=asin(b(x−h))+k

The amplitude is |a|. In radians the period is 2π|b|; in degrees it is 360°|b|. Identify the midline and interpret the shift in the model’s units.

Exponentials, logarithms and restrictions

A logarithm asks for an exponent. For a positive base other than one, the inverse relationship is:

logb(x)=y⇔by=x

For real logarithms, require x>0,b>0,b≠1. The change-of-base formula is:

logb(x)=ln(x)ln(b)

Check the original domain after solving; an algebraically obtained value can be invalid in the original logarithmic expression.

Rational expressions and radical equations

Record denominator restrictions before cancellation. Squaring both sides of a radical equation can introduce extraneous solutions. Substitute each proposed solution into the original equation, including its domain restrictions.

For example:

x2−1x−1=x+1,x≠1

The excluded input remains excluded after simplification.

Sequences and sums

Arithmetic sequences add a constant difference. Geometric sequences multiply by a constant ratio. For a geometric sequence with first term indexed by one:

an=a1rn−1

The finite geometric sum, when r≠1, is:

Sn=a1(1−rn)1−r

Statistics, probability and regression

Distinguish random sampling from random assignment, and association from causation. Read conditional-probability denominators from the stated group. In regression, preserve enough digits, follow the requested rounding and interpret parameters in context.

Under a conditional-probability model with P(B)>0:

P(A|B)=P(A∩B)P(B)

10. Frequently asked questions

Is Algebra II out of 82 or 86 raw credits?

Both formats are represented. June and August 2026 have 82 credits and 36 questions. January 2026 and the supported 2025 papers have 86 credits and 37 questions. Choose the exact administration.

How many raw credits reach a scale score of 65?

January 2026 requires 26. June and August 2026 require 30. The supported 2025 thresholds also vary. Check the target table or select your paper in the calculator.

Why does January 2026 raw 46 show Level 4?

The official chart converts 46 raw credits to scale 78 and Level 4. Its Level 3 band ends at 77. Raw 64 converts to 85 and Level 5.

Are the performance-level bands the same every year?

No. On January 2026, Level 4 starts at 78. On June and August 2026, it starts at 77. The legend and result are derived from the selected chart’s official level column.

Do I enter Part I questions correct or raw points?

In section mode, enter correct answers from 0 to 24. Each contributes 2 credits. Enter earned credits for the written parts. The calculator changes the Part III limit to match the selected format.

Does June 2026 Question 26 receive automatic credit?

No. NYSED’s clarification is conditional: full 2 credits may be awarded for the specified coefficient truncation when the regression equation is otherwise correct and the base is correctly rounded to the thousandth. Mark with the notice and rating guide first.

Does one Algebra II score award Mastery in Mathematics?

No. The endorsement also requires advanced-designation diploma requirements and the qualifying combination of mathematics exam results or granted exemptions. Your school must check your full record.

Which transformation comes first horizontally?

For the factored form shown in the worked example, divide the original horizontal coordinate by the inside scale factor, then add the horizontal translation. The original point with coordinates 1 and 1 maps to coordinates 3.5 and 1 in the example.

Does calculator use guarantee a 10–15 point increase?

No fixed score gain is claimed. A calculator can verify values, intersections and models, but correct setup, interpretation, rounding and written reasoning still matter.

What calculator can I use?

NYSED requires a graphing calculator without symbol manipulation and a ruler or straightedge. Follow your school’s approved-model and exam-material instructions.

Can I enter a future or unlisted exam?

An unlisted exam receives no substituted curve. Use the exact official conversion chart when it is released. The included past charts can support practice, not predict a future curve.

Can I download and revise my result?

A successful conversion enables CSV download with the administration, official source, raw maximum, score, level and target. Changing an input invalidates the displayed result and export until you convert again.

Who checked this calculator?

NUM8ERS reviewed all 514 source rows across six NYSED charts on 26 October 2026. This independent practice tool is not affiliated with NYSED and does not replace school scoring.
