What to study for the Geometry Regents

When studying for the geometry regents exam, the main topics to focus on are:

• Parallel lines and transversals
• Triangles, isoscleles, exterior angles
• Right triangles & Pythagorean Theorem
• Similarity & congruency
• Writing 2 column proofs
• Quadrilaterals and parallelograms
• Polygons and central angles
• Equation of a line
• Equation of a circle
• Transformations
• Area, volume, and cross-sections
• Density and ratios

Old regents exams are available at the NYSED website . When studying, either by yourself or with a geometry tutor, remember that memorizing formulas is not the complete process. With our students, we practice lots of problems and review the theorems that are at their foundation.
