Neddy: in NY all high schoolers have to take certain "regents exams", they're basically state-mandated finals that are a huge pain in the ass and you can't graduate without a certain number of tests and a certain grade on each.
Math B is the second math course given in NY. Geometry, Alegbra, and Trig are divided into two (cougharbitrarycough) courses; Math A, which is taken from 9th grade to the middle of 10th, and Math B which is taken from the middle of 10th grade to the end of 11th. Needless to say, NY is getting rid of this system shortly and Math will once again become "Math 1, Math 2, and Math 3."
I got a 76 on Math B speaking of which...and my hopes of going to Yale are flushed down the toilet.
