Algebra 2 Regents Practice & Study Guide
The Algebra 2 Regents is the broadest of the three math Regents — polynomials, rational and radical equations, trigonometry, logarithms, and probability all share one exam. Because the syllabus is wide, topic-by-topic practice with real past-exam questions is the highest-leverage way to study. Every question in RegentsLab's Algebra 2 bank comes from an actual administration and includes a full worked solution.
What's on the Algebra 2 Regents
RegentsLab organizes its Algebra 2 question bank into the units below — the same structure the exam draws from:
- Functions
- Polynomials
- Complex Numbers & Quadratics
- Rational & Radical
- Exponential & Logarithmic
- Trigonometry
- Sequences & Series
- Statistics & Probability
Exponential/logarithmic equations and trigonometric functions are the most commonly missed units — front-load them in your review.
Exam format

| Part II | 8 constructed-response questions | 2 credits each |
| Part III | 4 constructed-response questions | 4 credits each |
| Part IV | 1 constructed-response question | 6 credits |
How to practice
Drill real past-exam questions topic by topic — every question includes a full worked solution. Complete exam simulations for Algebra 2 are being added; the question bank is live now. Start in the practice lab, and keep the official reference materials open beside you — building fluency with them is part of the preparation.
Frequently asked questions
How many questions are on the Algebra 2 Regents?
37 questions across four parts — 24 multiple-choice at 2 credits each plus 13 constructed-response questions — for 86 total credits in 3 hours.
What score do you need to pass the Algebra 2 Regents?
A scaled 65, like the other math Regents. Algebra 2's conversion curve is typically generous, which makes multiple-choice accuracy especially valuable.
Is the Algebra 2 Regents required to graduate?
Not for a standard Regents diploma — one math Regents (usually Algebra 1) satisfies the requirement. Algebra 2 counts toward the Advanced Regents diploma pathway.
What topics are on the Algebra 2 Regents?
Polynomial, rational, radical, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions; complex numbers; sequences and series; and statistics including the normal distribution and inference from simulations.
Can you use a calculator on the Algebra 2 Regents?
Yes — a graphing calculator is provided for the entire exam, plus the official reference sheet.
