Can I watch the lessons in any order and answer practice questions/tests in any order?
Yes, you can go through our content in any order. However, we recommend that you follow the order in which the content is presented. The practice tests are locked based on completing certain lessons.
When should a student start preparing for the SHSAT?
Students take the SHSAT in fall of 8th grade, but starting much earlier is a good idea. It makes sense to start in the 7th grade or earlier. Take advantage of the summer before 8th grade. Students should also study during the summers, between 6th and 7th grade and even between 5th and 6th grade. Knowledge loss over summer break is a common problem for many students. Doing work during the summer, specifically for the SHSAT gives students a leg up over the competition.

FAQ About Our SHSAT Prep the SHSAT
What sections are on the SHSAT?
English Language Arts and Mathematics. Note that the English Language Arts part consists of Revising/Editing and Reading Comprehension.
Can I use a calculator on the SHSAT?
No, a calculator is not permitted on the SHSAT.
When should I start preparing for the SHSAT?
For the SHSAT, it is best to start as early as possible. The SHSAT is a very difficult test and each student only has one chance to take it during 8th grade. There is another chance to take it as a freshman in high school, but there are less seats available in the specialized high school.
Are formulas given on the SHSAT?
There is no formula sheet. However, some questions may provide a formula.
What score is necessary to get into a specialized high school?
Students are competing for available seats, so the score changes year to year. After the tests are graded, the students are ranked and placed into schools based on their rank and preferences for schools. On average, we have found that around an 85 is necessary to gain access to a specialized high school. However, because of the way the SHSAT is scored, a simple percentage is not accurate.
How many students take the SHSAT
According to the department of education, over 30,000 students take the SHSAT every year. However, that shouldn’t discourage you! 30,000 students take the test, but that doesn’t mean that they are prepared for the test. They might not have the grades you have or put in the work necessary to ace the SHSAT. If you study for the test, you can separate yourself from those other students.
SHSAT Lessons & Practice Problems
After taking a diagnostic test, work your way through lessons and then the practice problems to put your knowledge to the test. We will track your progress on each SHSAT topic as you finish tests, lessons and practice problems. Your assessment is constantly updated so you can identify your strengths and weaknesses.
SHSAT Math Practice
We go further than just breaking down math into 4 topics (Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, and Data Analysis & Probability). We break down the categorize the math questions into 21 topics and provide lessons and math practice questions specifically for increasing your ability in each of those topics.
SHSAT Verbal Practice
The verbal section of the SHSAT includes Revising.Editing and Reading Comprehension. We break down those two large topics into much smaller categories with associated lessons and practice problems. We will help you focus on the topics that offer the greatest opportunity for improvement.
