well.. u need regents for a high school diploma..if ur going into college then im not sure. u should ask the college that you are going to.but regnents arent that hard i took some and passed with good grades. =] good luck in college.

Answer 2

Generally regents are only for High School students in order to earn a more advanced diploma.  Although it looks good to colleges to have a regents diploma, I don't think it's necessary, especially since your an international student where regents aren't there.  I guess if you were applying to a really top-notch hard to get in school, it's possible, but I'm gonna give you a no on this...  

You might need the SAT though, or at least it's equivalent.  Best to just contact the school your interested in.  If your interested in more than one, contact each one individually, as each college is going to have different requirements.
