You want to get accepted to one of the elite NYC Specialized High Schools. We’re going to help you do it.
Our SHSAT Prep class is designed to best prepare students for the SHSAT. We have broken down the topics of the verbal and math sections into small, focused lessons with associated practice problems for students to hone their test-taking abilities.
Sign up for Caddell Prep's SHSAT class knowing that you've made the right choice for your child.
- 8 Students or Less Per Class - Your child won't be lost in the crowd. The instructor will know your child's name and give him/her personal attention.
- Less Expensive Than the "Big Name" Competitors - The "big name" competitors have to charge more to cover their franchise fees and terrible commercials.
- Highest Quality - We don't offer test prep for every test. We are focused on a select number of tests and have analyzed them thoroughly to provide the best test prep classes for those tests.
- Proven Success - We have been tutoring and preparing students on Staten Island since 2012. Plus, our online math lessons and test prep resources are used throughout the USA and in 21+ other countries.

Overview of the SHSAT
Acceptance Rate
We have a 78% acceptance rate to specialized high schools for students who scored over a 60% on their first diagnostic test. Based on previous classes, we find over an 80%* is needed to get into Brooklyn Tech or Staten Island Tech. Admission to Stuyvesant requires over a 90%* score approximately.
*The required scores are approximations based on our students’ previous results. The actual scoring of the SHSAT is a little more complicated, as a student who scores very highly in one section, Verbal or Math, and not as well in the other, may be better off than a student who scores well on both.

Benefits of SHSAT Prep Classes
The benefits of a live SHSAT prep class include:
- Interaction with a live instructor who can answer your questions and provide personalized feedback
- The ability to study with a group of students, which can help increase motivation and accountability
- The opportunity to receive real-time support and guidance as you prepare for the exam
SHSAT Practice Tests
Our SHSAT practice tests model the sample tests provided by the NYC DOE. Whether taken at the office or at homes, students will enter their answers online. The actual SHSAT is moving to an online format, so tests can be graded quicker and a lot of the logistical and administrative work is able to removed.
Another benefit of having online SHSAT tests is the almost instantaneous grading and reporting. With our online platform, students will get an advanced assessment highlighting students’ strengths and weaknesses.
Identify Strengths and Weaknesses on the SHSAT
A student should identify their weaknesses on the SHSAT in order to focus their study efforts and improve their performance on the test. By identifying areas where they struggle, a student can target specific topics and skills that need improvement, rather than spending time reviewing material they already understand. This can help them to make the most of their study time and increase their chances of achieving a higher score on the test.
Additionally, identifying weaknesses on the SHSAT can also help a student to develop a better understanding of their own learning style and what strategies work best for them. For example, a student who struggles with math may benefit from more practice problems or different types of visual aids. A student who struggles with time management may benefit from learning techniques to better manage their time during the test.
Knowing one’s weaknesses also helps a student to set realistic goals and to track their progress. By focusing on specific areas, a student can see improvement over time and measure the effectiveness of their study strategies. This can help to increase motivation and boost confidence.
Why Have a Small SHSAT Prep Class Size?
The optimal number of students in a SHSAT prep class can vary depending on the teaching style, class format and the needs of the students. However, generally speaking, smaller class sizes have been found to be more beneficial for students in terms of academic achievement and engagement. This is because smaller classes tend to allow for more individualized attention and support from the instructor, as well as more opportunities for student participation and collaboration.
According to a meta-analysis conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), students in smaller classes (between 6 to 15 students) outperformed those in larger classes (between 21 to 29 students) on standardized tests in reading and mathematics. Additionally, a study by the Center for Public Education found that students in smaller classes had higher attendance rates, better behavior, and higher graduation rates.
Because of this analysis, Caddell Prep keeps the class size of its live online SHSAT prep classes to a maximum of eight students.
What is a Live Online SHSAT Prep Class?
Our live online SHSAT prep class is a test preparation course conducted over the internet, via our video conferencing software with built-in whiteboard and PDF notes. Our classes are led by a live instructor who is able to interact with students in real-time, providing instruction, answering questions, and providing feedback and support.
These classes are similar to traditional in-person SHSAT prep classes, but they offer the added convenience and flexibility of being able to attend class from anywhere with an internet connection. They offer the same curriculum and materials as in-person classes and include interactive exercises, practice tests, and other tools to help students prepare for the exam.
Our live online SHSAT prep classes also offers additional features such as online homework with instant feedback and online practice tests with advanced assessment and scoring. The goal of this type of class is to provide students with an even higher level of instruction and support as an in-person class, while allowing them to study from the comfort of their own home or other location.
