Easiest Regents exam?

I'm from NY and trying to figure out which Regents exams I should take. Are there any exams that are considered particularly 'easy' or straightforward? What has your experience been like with them?

While the difficulty of Regents exams varies for every student based on their strengths and interests, some exams tend to be viewed as more straightforward than others. The easiest Regents exams might include:

1. Living Environment (Biology): Students often find this exam relatively simple because it covers topics commonly taught in high school courses. The Living Environment Regents exam has many multiple-choice questions, in addition to some short response questions, which students generally consider easier to prepare for and answer.

2. Algebra I: For some students, math comes more naturally, so they may find the Algebra I Regents exam straightforward. This exam covers algebraic concepts typically taught in high school courses, and it includes multiple-choice and open-ended questions.

3. Global History and Geography: This exam is considered easy for students who are strong in history and geography. It tests students on their knowledge of global history and geography topics, including thematic essay and short-answer questions, in addition to multiple-choice questions.

Keep in mind, what is deemed easy for one student might be difficult for another due to differences in learning styles and subject strengths. It's important to factor in your interests, performance in related classes and subjects, and your personal strengths when deciding which Regents exams to take. Furthermore, your school may have specific requirements for the Regents exams you need to take, so make sure to discuss your options with a school counselor or academic advisor.
