Your child has 3 hours from the start of the exam (unless you have accommodations per IEP or 504). If they show up late, they do not have extra time.
They can not leave and return to the exam. The only break they are able to get is a restroom break.
There is a required “sit time” for each exam. They can not leave before that time.
If they arrive late and past the 1 and 1/2 hour mark, they will not be allowed in.
If they miss a Regents exam, they will have to take it the next time it is offered (June, August). There are no make-ups given.
