Online Regents Prep Course Overview

Increase your score with our self-paced, online Algebra 1 Regents prep course. The test is based on concepts taught in Algebra 1 class, but it would be almost impossible to prepare for the test by trying to review everything that was taught througout the year. It is also not necessary. The Algebra Regents tests specific topics taught during the year, not every topic. Our course covers all of the necessary topics and strategies for answering the questions that appear on the test.

Knowing what concepts the Algebra 1 Regents tests you on will save you time and help you more readily find the right answer. Most students who take the test cold have no idea how to answer the all of the questions. However, after completing our lessons, students are able to quickly identify the best way to find the answers since they are familiar with the questions. This results in saved time and more correct answers.

Lessons & Practice Questions

Our online Algebra Regents Prep course provides algebra lessons followed by practice problems to test your knowledge and keep you engaged. We track your progress as you work through the lessons, practice problems, and sample tests to give you an updated assessment highlighting your strengths, weaknesses and areas for greatest improvement.

Part 1 Practice Tests
