⭐️SHSAT Test Prep for GR 6 & 7: -Limited Seats Available
The Specialized High School Admissions Test (SHSAT) is a test that eighth and ninth graders in New York City take each year to gain admission to one of the city’s elite specialized high schools. The SHSAT is a pencil-and-paper, timed test with two 57-question sections: Math and English Language Arts (ELA). Students have 180 minutes (3 hours) to complete the SHSAT test.
🚨This program is a multipart program, beginning in March 2023 and finishing upon the SHSAT exam at the 8th-grade level. Getting accepted for this program is a commitment to complete all program sessions.
The Algebra Curriculum will cover all the math topics appearing on the SHSAT admissions test. Students will improve their problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and logical thinking by the end of the course. We will develop our understanding of the math topics and ideally improve math, and test-taking skills.
Math topics Reinforced in the SHSAT Math prep: Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, and Statistics
ELA Curriculum: The SHSAT English Language Arts sections include 3–5 Stand-Alone Questions. students will practice and learn how to apply their gained knowledge of Sentence Structure and Formation; Punctuation; Usage; Knowledge of Language; Organization, Unity, and Cohesion; and Topic Development to answer questions.
This course will target students’ growth in the areas of literacy. The English/Language Arts course balances reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language skills.
