How to work through the New York State Regents Examinations syllabus
The outline on this page is arranged the way the syllabus itself is: subject, then chapter, then topic, then sub-topic. That last level is what most study plans skip, and it is where coverage actually goes wrong — a chapter marked "done" often has three sub-topics inside it that were never touched.
Weight your plan accordingly: Algebra I (Regents Examination) carries 19 topics while English Language Arts (Regents Comprehensive Examination in ELA) carries 14. Giving both the same number of weeks is the most common planning mistake for New York State Regents Examinations.
The ~175 hour estimate above is a first pass only: roughly 45 minutes per topic plus 12 minutes per sub-topic. Revision cycles, past papers and mocks sit on top of that number.
