The Great Regents Score Hunt: A Survival Guide
So, you've just finished sweating your way through another NYC Regents exam. Congratulations, champ! You've officially earned the right to embark on the next great adventure: finding out your score. Buckle up, because this journey might be as thrilling as an episode of "Lost".
Where, Oh Where, Did My Score Go?
Let's be honest, waiting for Regents scores is like waiting for your pizza order when you're hangry. You check the door every five seconds, hoping it's the delivery guy. But instead of pizza, you're craving those sweet, sweet numbers that will determine your academic fate.
Option 1: The High School Transcript
This is the classic, tried-and-true method. Your high school transcript is like a yearbook, but instead of embarrassing photos, it's filled with grades and test scores. You can usually find it in your school's guidance counselor's office. Just be prepared to explain why you're there for the tenth time that week.
Option 2: The NYC Schools Account (NYCSA)
For those of you who are digitally inclined, the NYCSA is your one-stop shop for all things school-related. From grades to attendance, it's all there. Just log in, navigate through the labyrinth of menus, and hope you don't accidentally change your password.
