Did you know that Castle Learning has all the NYS released Regents exams for students to study from within their Castle Learning Self Study section!? There is also an option to study by subject/ specific topic!
Teachers do not need to do anything for students to have access to the Self Study in order to study from past Regents exams or even study Regents questions by Subject/Topic!
⭐What is fabulous about students reviewing within this platform is that students are given HINTS if they get something wrong and they are shown the REASON for the correct answer!!
*Also, CL has Text to Speech option, if students need text read to them*
In addition, when they have completed the Self-Study Regents Review they can look in their Reports to see how they did and review their answers from there!
