Sample SHSAT (NYC) Prep Plan

Begin with a SHSAT (NYC) diagnostic and check the current official format, scoring rules and eligible level.
Use a diagnostic to map strengths and gaps against the relevant grade-level standards.
Practise one weak standard at a time, then combine standards in mixed question sets.
Review timed practice results and confirm test-day and eligibility details from official sources.

Common SHSAT (NYC) Mistakes We Help Students Avoid

Preparing for SHSAT (NYC) using a generic or outdated format instead of checking the current official guidance.
Practising answers without explaining the reasoning or checking evidence.
Overlooking registration, eligibility or test-day instructions that are separate from academics.

Every student starts with a diagnostic assessment so we can see exactly where the gaps are. We then build a personalised prep plan, teach the concepts behind each question type, and practise under timed conditions. Every wrong answer is analysed so the same mistake does not repeat. Parents receive monthly progress reports and can see improvement clearly over time.
