NEW ... NEW ... NEW ... EFFECTIVE Spring 2007

Students scoring 560 or higher on the SAT Writing Section portion of the Reasoning Test will be exempt from the Writing portion of the Regents’ Test as of Spring semester, 2007. In addition, the policy that exempts students with a combination of SAT-I Verbal score and an A or B in English Composition (English 1101) will not be available after Summer, 2008.

Therefore, students who are currently in the system, may use either form of exemption until Fall semester, 2008 (at which time only the SAT Writing Test score of 560 will be used to exempt from the Writing portion of the Regents’ Test).
