Is getting an advanced regents diploma worth it for going to college out of state?

That's a toughie but i'd stick with the advanced regents and try to get your grades up. I had the same situation and i'm in new york as well. i actually got my average up to an 80 something by years end. Also if you can do well on the regents exam you'll be good. My school (in WNY) had an intermediate alg and trig cl you could take junior year and then take Advanced senior year. but still if your a senior i'd stick with it.
