Are there different regulations for Math A and Integrated Algebra? I
thought this was more cut and dried but I have received differing
answers from assorted people. Is there a separate Regents rating guide
for the new Regents exams or do all the same rules apply regarding
things like rounding and this trial-and-error issue?

Sorry,
I guess I should have read the whole question...For Math A, three above
and three below...
For integrated, three trials and appropriate checks for full credit.
