Global History and Geography II Regents conversion chart — two scores in, one final score out

There is no single raw score on this exam, and that is not a technicality: NYSED publishes a two-way chart rather than a list. The final score sits where the Part I and Part II Score and the Part III Essay Score meet. On the August 2026 administration a 65 took 26 points out of 35 on the objective parts if the essay scored 0, and only 11 if the essay scored 5. Any site quoting one number for this exam has flattened one of the two axes.

Because NYSED's chart is indexed that way: the Part III Essay Score axis takes exactly 11 values — 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5 — and nothing in between. A score of 3.7 does not exist on the chart, which is why the tool above offers a list rather than a free-text box. If a combination is not on the axes, the tool says so instead of showing the nearest cell.

No — and the chart says so out loud. On the August 2026 administration, an essay score of 0, 0.5, 1 or 1.5 puts 85 out of reach entirely: even a perfect 35 on the Part I and Part II Score does not reach a final score of 85 in those columns. The lowest essay score from which 85 is reachable at all is 2. That is the single most useful thing this chart tells a student aiming high, and it is the reason the curve history below prints those cells as "out of reach" rather than as a dash.

17, from June 2019 to August 2026, each one a separate NYSED chart of 36 rows by 11 columns. The administrations cancelled around the pandemic — June 2020, August 2020, January 2021, August 2021, January 2022 — are absent because they were never held, and nothing is interpolated across them.

No. NYSED publishes no performance-level column on this exam's conversion charts, so none is shown. Working one out from the final score would mean inventing it.

Because NYSED does not publish one. This exam converts on a two-way chart: the Part I and Part II Score down the side, the Part III Essay Score across the top, and the final score where they meet. There are 11 essay scores on that axis — 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5 — so there are 11 different 65 lines in every administration, not one. That is why the curve history tables below are wide rather than tall, and why a site that quotes one number for this exam has quietly dropped an axis.

Because those administrations never took place: June 2020, August 2020, January 2021, August 2021, January 2022 were cancelled around the pandemic. The line on the chart breaks rather than jumping the gap, because joining the two edges would draw a data point that does not exist.

From the conversion chart spreadsheets NYSED publishes on nysedregents.org — 17 files for this exam alone, 6,732 cells in total, each linked from its own result in the tool above. They are re-downloaded and re-parsed automatically, and nothing is published if a checksum moves, a file changes shape, or the grid changes size. Last verified September 7, 2026.
