Section 03
The Algebra 2 Regents demands abstract reasoning at a level few high-school exams require.
Factoring, division, and root analysis up to degree four or five.
Recognizing polynomial, rational, radical, exponential, log, and trig families from graphs and equations.
Unit-circle fluency and trig-equation solving on bounded intervals.
Properties of logs and inverse relationships with exponentials.
Normal distribution, z-scores, and the logic of confidence intervals.
Matching real-world scenarios to the correct function family.
Regression, distribution menus, and intersection-finding.
Algebraic and verbal explanations that satisfy the Regents rubric.
Sustained focus across a 3-hour exam packed with multi-step problems.

The patterns Mr. Sharma sees most often on Algebra 2.
Section 05
A six-step path from diagnostic to test day, used with every Algebra 2 Regents student.
A full-length diagnostic establishes the student's true starting point across every tested area.
Results are mapped to specific subtopics — not just section scores — so the plan targets the right work.
Underlying content is rebuilt where needed so test strategies have something solid to stand on.
Curated, exam-aligned problems are worked through together on the digital whiteboard.
Pacing, elimination, and figure-reading techniques tuned to this exam's format.
Regular timed practice tests turn preparation into performance — and reveal exactly what to refine next.
