Yes, RCT (Regents Competency Tests) exams are generally considered easier than regular Regents exams. Here are six key points to explain the difference:
Designed for Struggling Students: RCTs are intended for students with disabilities or those who have difficulty passing standard Regents exams, offering a more accessible alternative.
Simpler Content: The material covered in RCTs is less advanced and more basic compared to regular Regents exams, focusing on core concepts rather than in-depth analysis.
Easier Question Format: RCTs typically have more straightforward questions, often with more multiple-choice and less open-ended or essay responses.
Lower Passing Standard: The passing score for RCTs is generally lower, making it easier for students to meet graduation requirements.
More Time Allowed: Students taking RCTs may be given extended time or other accommodations to help them complete the exam successfully.
No Requirement for Advanced Courses: Unlike regular Regents exams, which often align with honors or advanced-level courses, RCTs are designed to test basic high school-level knowledge.
The terms RCT (Root Canal Treatment) and Regents refer to completely different things—one is a dental procedure, and the other relates to standardized exams in education. Here’s a comparison in six bullet points: Field of Use: RCT: Used in dentistry to treat infected or damaged tooth pulp. Regents: Refers to academic exams administered in New York State schools. Purpose: RCT: Aims to save and restore the function of a tooth. Regents: Designed to assess student knowledge in core high school subjects. Audience: RCT: Performed on dental patients of any age. Regents: Taken by high school students, usually in grades 9–12. Procedure/Format: RCT: Involves cleaning, disinfecting, and sealing the root canals. Regents: Written exams with multiple-choice and open-ended questions. Outcome: RCT: Results in pain relief and tooth preservation. Regents: Determines whether students meet graduation requirements. Context: RCT: Medical/dental clinic. Regents: Educational/school setting.
A regular New York State diploma requires passing certain state exams and completing a minimum number of credits. A Regents diploma requires students to pass specific Regents examinations in core subjects, demonstrating a higher level of academic achievement. An Advanced Regents diploma requires additional coursework and passing more challenging Regents exams, often including a foreign language requirement, indicating an even greater level of academic proficiency. Each diploma type reflects different levels of readiness for post-secondary education and career opportunities.

I do think with a regular regents you need a diploma in order to graduate or you can graduate from high diploma school.
Which version? RCT 1 & RCT 2 you can only get online. As for RCT 3 they might still have it in retail stores or as before get it online.
you have to get at least a 65 on the regents.
Nope , it's not on Regents.
Regents Field was created in 1893.
That depends on what state your regents is/are in.
