Regents

They say the opposite. Guess and don’t leave it blank. If you can’t decide on a final answer, take an educated guess or try a new strategy. Whatever you do: do NOT leave any question blank on your Regents exam. You do not lose credits for a wrong answer, so it’s much better to just guess instead of leaving something blank.

If you are doing multiple choice and don’t know the answer don’t do just guess any of them. First eliminate the wrong answers, then guess

As UJM advised, when in doubt, cheat. It has apparently worked well for him so perhaps a winning strategy if your long-term objective is to grow up to become a troll on frum social media.

Good luck!!
I was a high school teacher, who taught and prepared students for regents for many years.
1- study as many old regents as possible
2-do the questions you know first- many times you’ll find info to help you answer the questions you don’t know.
2- try not to leave anything blank
3- don’t cheat- the 1 student that I had that cheated got a zero
Relax and take your time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reb Yoef: You obviously woke up too early and arehaving a difficult time distinguishing sarcasm from reality, other than your own. Its been a long while since I took the NYS regents exams and don’t recall how easily it was back then to access a cheat sheet but I’m certain your resourcefulness would have overcome the barrier. I do recall that for the SATs, there was a network of bochurim who spoke with their non-frum contacts motzi shabbos who had taken the exams on Saturdays and were generous in sharing their collective knowledge to their chavrusah who were taking the exam on Sunday.

I wonder why someone who lies with such alacrity would refer to them as any sort of gadol.

On a serious note, the incidents of cheating among students in Yeshivos is relatively rare and isolated. The majority of these cases, as reported in the media, are among computer savy public school students who get access to exams which have been distributed to some schools prior to the test date. Even then its more difficult since the sequencing of questions is frequently changed and some entirely new items dropped in.
Over the longer term, these standardized exams are being used less frequently, especially those like the SAT, LSAT etc. which historically were a primary tool for college and grad school admissions. Other tests like the Regents exams which are designed to measure proficiency in certain subject areas for advancement or graduation will probably continue, but even those are being refocused in the name of “equity”.

The regent questions repeat year to year with different numbers. So the absolute best thing to do, is to get both Barron’s books, go through the old regents, and make sure you can do the problems no matter what the numbers or words are. If you keep getting tripped up on the same stuff, read those chapters a few times. Not everything in the Barrons books are in the regents, so don’t try to read them cover to cover.

excellent posts above on approaching multiple-choice. I would suggest do online tests that help you determine what areas you need to work on. I am not sure about Regents, but Khan Academy has SATs and similar tests with such diagnostics.
