How to Pass the Georgia Reading Regents' Test

All university institutions in Georgia require students to take and pass the Regents' Writing and Reading Skills test. This is a requirement for all students who are undergraduates obtaining a baccalaureate degree. The test ensures all students are at the minimum system wide level in the areas of reading and writing. The Regents' test requires students to read nine passages and answer 54 multiple-choice questions in 60 minutes. Each student has two chances to take the test and pass. Otherwise, they are required to add the Regents' Reading Test skills class to their schedule. The test must be taken each semester until it is passed. The test is free to take.
