[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 598174, member: 3493"] Bunny - 85 is mastery on the Regents. My son refused to do accelerated math and is only doing earth science. I want him to be studying but he's been asleep since 5 PM. He'll wake up at 9 and want to study with me and I have work in the morning. He's already had his history final and his English teacher didn't give a final, she gave them a portfolio assignment. The Latin state test is Monday, then there's HS orientation. Even my son, who isn't a difficult child, is stressing out over this end of year stuff. I'm a little nervous about next year because he's doing Honors Bio and he has moderately severe dyslexia and visual issues. Your son sounds like a very smart young man and I'm sure he'll do fine. The Regents is geared to the average student. I'll tell you a true story. My oldest son also declined accelerated math (difficult child was the only one of my kids who took it).
