The Regents' Reading Test is a test of reading comprehension. It
is designed to measure your understanding of the material that
you read. This practice version contains five passages.
Following each passage is a set of questions about the passage.
There are 30 questions on the test. For each question following
a passage, choose the best response on the basis of the content
of the passage. Do not spend too much time on any one question.
If a question seems very difficult, make the most careful guess
you can. Your score is the number of correct answers that you
give; there is no added penalty for wrong answers. By taking
this computerized version of the test you will get an idea of
how you might do on the regular test. However, since this
practice test is shorter and presented under very different
conditions than the regular test, your score may be
significantly lower or higher. On the regular test you are
allowed 60 minutes, so give yourself 30 to complete this
practice test. Click here to get started (You may
