The new regents has several questions that are totally new questions from any of the past U.S. History and Government Regents -- stimulus-based multiple-choice questions, Short Essay questions, and Civic Literacy Essay questions. These questions are dealt with in an easy-to-follow step-by-step approach that is spread out over several chapters. This is done so as not to overwhelm the student with too much new information at one time. Like the chunking of the content information, the new questions are presented in small portions with plenty of practice of each question before the student moves on. Another principle employed in this books is never too overwhelm the student with more information than they can absorb. There last chapter presents a complete practice regents that mirrors the number of questions and level of difficulty the students will experience on the actual regents.
