Built for the New SHSAT Format

The SHSAT moves to a computer-adaptive format in 2026. Most local programs are still teaching the old test — ours is built for the one your child will actually take.

💻

CAT-Adapted Curriculum

Instruction and practice are aligned to the new digital, computer-adaptive SHSAT format — not the paper test of years past.

📊

Weekly Practice Tests

Every week brings a practice test and score tracking, so you always know exactly where your child stands — no surprises in November.

Sequential Check Sheet System

Every student follows a structured check sheet through diagnostic, drills, and practice tests. Parents can review progress at any time, and a completion certificate is issued at the end.

🤝

Max 10 Students Per Class

Small groups mean tutors know your child by name and catch gaps before they become problems.

📚

Math + ELA Together

Both tested sections are covered in every session — balanced instruction, not just whichever subject is convenient that day.

📅

Summer Intensive + Fall Continuation

Start strong over the summer, then continue right through test season — one program, no restart in September.

What Parents Are Saying

I was hesitant because “free” usually means a sales pitch. It was nothing like that. They gave us a full written summary, sat with us for 30 minutes, and only suggested SHSAT prep when they saw she was genuinely ready for it. My daughter got into Bronx Science.

Common Questions

SHSAT Prep, Answered

What is the SHSAT and why start prep over the summer?

The Specialized High School Admissions Test determines entry into schools like Stuyvesant, Bronx Science, and Brooklyn Tech. Starting in the summer gives your child a full runway of practice before test season, instead of cramming in the fall.

What changes with the 2026 computer-adaptive format?

The SHSAT is moving to a digital, computer-adaptive test, meaning question difficulty adjusts based on a student’s answers. Our curriculum and practice tests are built around this format rather than the older paper-based test.

What if my child can’t start until September?

The program is designed to be followed from July, but the fall phase (Saturday & Sunday) continues through November 15. Call us at (718) 200-0028 to discuss the best entry point for your child.

Is there a registration fee or deposit?

No. There is no registration fee or deposit. Enrollment is confirmed once the first payment is made, and spots are held on a first come, first served basis.

What does my child receive at the end of the program?

Every student follows a sequential check sheet covering diagnostics, drills, and practice tests. Parents can review progress at any time, and a completion certificate is issued once all sections are finished.
