SPECIALIZED HIGH SCHOOL ADMISSION TEST (SHSAT)
Prep Class
Prep and Strategies for the NYC Specialized High School Exam
Let us help your student prepare for the SHSAT. The course, taught by experienced teachers, will focus on closely reviewing the curriculum covered by the test.
We will focus on a targeted content review as well as a review of skills and formulas to prepare your student for tackling this test and doing their best.
Prior to the first session, students will take a baseline SHSAT exam at home to give a benchmark. Once the student grades this exam they will be able to identify areas needing strengthening. They will share this information (areas needing strengthening) with the teachers prior to the first session.
It will be the responsibility of the students/families to take the baseline test under real test conditions.
IMPORTANT: The course consists of seven Math, and seven ELA sessions. For five of the class dates, the sessions (each of which are one hour in length) occur back to back (meaning on the same day). For two dates, Math and ELA occur on different days. So while you will see nine dates in total, the course still consists of seven Math sessions and seven ELA sessions.
There are 14 class hours in total. All classes take place on Zoom.
Course Fee
The fee for the course is $375. The fee does not include any course materials or books needed.
