(Albany, NY: April 26, 2011) Studying for the New York State Regents Exams is as easy as watching TV. Regents Review 2.0 debuts on most PBS channels in early May with new videos on each of the ten subject exams and four language exams scheduled in June.

Regents Review 2.0 is the next generation of Regents exam preparation for high school students all across New York State, combining the power of television with the access speed of the internet to create a dynamic and comprehensive 14-part test prep series.

The New York Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC) has been a major supporter of Regents Review 2.0 for more than ten years; visit HESC.org to link to the RR2.0 television schedule for your local PBS station, plus video clips and test taking tips.
