What score do I need for Regents with Mastery in Geometry?

To earn a Regents Diploma with Mastery designation, you need a scaled score of 85 or higher. On the January 2026 Geometry exam, this requires approximately 67 raw points out of 80.

What topics are on the Geometry Regents?

The Geometry Regents covers: congruence and similarity, geometric transformations, coordinate geometry proofs, properties of triangles and quadrilaterals, circle theorems, trigonometry (SOHCAHTOA), 3D geometry and volume, and geometric constructions.

Is there partial credit on the Geometry Regents?

Yes! Parts II, III, and IV award partial credit. Always show all work including diagrams, labeled angles, and step-by-step proofs. Graders award method points even if your final answer is incorrect.

What are the most important topics to study?

Focus on: triangle congruence proofs (SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, HL), coordinate geometry (distance, midpoint, slope), circle theorems (inscribed angles, tangent lines), and transformations (rotations, reflections, translations, dilations).

How accurate is this Geometry score calculator?

This calculator uses the official January 2026 NYSED conversion chart. Your actual score should be within ±2-3 scaled points, as each exam administration has a slightly different curve.

Tips to Maximize Your Score

Strategic advice to help you pass and earn mastery on the Geometry Regents.

📐

Master Proofs

Triangle congruence proofs (SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, HL) are essential. Practice writing clear two-column proofs.

⭕

Know Circle Theorems

Inscribed angles, central angles, tangent lines, and secant relationships appear frequently on Parts II-IV.

📏

Coordinate Geometry

Distance, midpoint, and slope formulas are tested heavily. Use coordinate proofs for parallelograms and triangles.

✍️

Label Everything

On constructed response questions, label all diagrams, angles, and measurements. Show every step for partial credit.
