REGENTS EXAMS ONLINE The Education Department now posts recent tests on the State Assessment web site at http://www.nysedregents.org. Copies of older exams are also available in PDF format from the New York State Library’s digital media management system at http://purl.org/net/nysl/nysdocs/39007765.
