High School Admission Test Preparation
SPECIALIZED HIGH SCHOOL ADMISSION TEST PREP.
The NEW 2017 Test.
The Specialized High School Admission Test (SHSAT) is the sole admission criteria for all the Specialized High Schools in NYC. This is an extremely challenging exam that tests higher level thinking skills. Many students find it unlike any test they have ever taken before. High schools do not set admission scores until all test results are in; therefore students are competing for seats. Our curriculum is aligned to the NEW 2017 SHSAT.
Students seeking a 9th grade seat in a NYC Specialized High School take the exam in late October. At Academic Advantage we offer tutoring services as early as the summer before the 7th grade and up to the fall of the 8th grade. We run several sessions through-out the year and never repeat the same materials - so students that stick with us do not repeat the same exercises. The question often arises as to "When should I begin to prepare for the SHSAT?" To be successful you must be well prepared - which means thoroughly familiar with the test format and the types of questions asked. The earlier a students starts, the more time he/she has to digest the new mathematics plus practice the strategies and techniques for scrambled paragraphs, logical reasoning and advanced reading comprehension. It is very difficult to cram for the SHSAT. Our statistics prove that students who prepare early have the highest percentages for acceptance to a Specialized High School in NYC.
All SHSAT instructors are Certified Teachers well versed in the content material and test taking strategies necessary to succeed on the SHSAT. Practice tests and progress reports are a regular part of our program. Academic Advantage has had incredible success in preparing students for the SHSAT!
