NY Regents Earth Science Practice — 314 MC Questions + 11 Lessons, Now on Texas CBE

If your student is in New York and preparing for the Regents Physical Setting / Earth Science exam, here's the news: we just migrated a complete Earth Science question bank onto Texas Credit by Examination (CBE)™. That's 314 multiple-choice questions with worked explanations, 11 free Earth Science lessons, full-length timed mock exams, and 20 free samples — same independently-authored format that powers the rest of our catalog, aligned to the NYS Physical Setting / Earth Science standards. You can find it on our Earth Science subject page.

We're a Texas-built practice platform, but the Earth Science core (astronomy, meteorology, geology, plate tectonics, surface processes) is universal — and this particular question bank was originally authored to the NY Earth Science topics, so it's a natural fit for Regents prep.

What's on the NY Earth Science Regents

• When: the next administration is June 18, 2026 (afternoon). The Regents Earth Science exam is given three times a year — January, June, and August.
• Length: 3 hours, around 85 questions across Parts A, B-1, B-2, and C.
• Passing score: 65.
• Lab work: a separate Earth Science lab practical (around 41 minutes, given a few weeks before the written exam), plus a minimum amount of completed lab work required to sit the exam.
• Reference Tables: the official NYSED Earth Science Reference Tables (ESRT) are provided during the exam and used heavily across all parts.

(Always confirm the current dates, lab requirements, and rules with your teacher or counselor — NYSED updates them.)

What's in our Earth Science bank

• 314 multiple-choice questions covering astronomy & Earth's motions, mapping & Earth's dimensions, meteorology & weather, minerals, rocks & plate tectonics, and surface processes & landscapes — the same topic categories NYSED uses for the Physical Setting / Earth Science course.
• 54 diagram-based questions — cross-sections, weather maps, topographic profiles, plate-boundary diagrams.
• Worked explanation on every question, with instant scoring.
• 11 free Earth Science lessons on the Learn page, walking through the underlying concepts.
• Full-length, timed mock exams (50 questions, 180 minutes, 80% to pass) to build the pacing real Regents day demands.
• 20 free sample questions on Earth Science — no signup needed.

How students are using it

Most students pair our practice with their classroom prep: drill our 314 MC questions by topic to repair gaps, take a full-length timed mock close to exam day for pacing, and lean on past Regents from NYSED's free archive for the Part C constructed-response sections we don't replicate. The lab practical is hands-on work that lives in your classroom — that's where you prep for it. Our strength is the high-volume multiple-choice content + explanations that consolidate the conceptual knowledge across the whole curriculum.

An honest note on alignment

Our material is independently authored and originally built for NY Regents Earth Science practice. We are not affiliated with the New York State Education Department (NYSED), the Regents program, or its test administrator. We don't reproduce the official Earth Science Reference Tables or any official test's questions. We don't claim a precise percentage match to NYSED standards or promise any score — we focus on the universal Earth Science concepts the exam draws on. Before relying on it, confirm your exact requirements with your New York school.
