SHSAT Prep Built for NYC Students
SHSAT Buddy helps NYC middle school students prepare for the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test (SHSAT) with realistic SHSAT practice tests, daily quizzes, and clear performance insights — all online, on any device. The best SHSAT prep for success.
What is the SHSAT and Why Does It Matter?
The NYC Department of Education’s Specialized High Schools Admissions Test (SHSAT) is a competitive exam used for admission to New York City’s specialized public high schools, including Stuyvesant, Bronx Science, and Brooklyn Tech. SHSAT test dates are usually in late October to mid-December.
The test measures English Language Arts and Mathematics skills, and a student’s SHSAT score is the only factor used for admission. This makes focused preparation, realistic practice, and consistent review essential for success.
Update for 2026: Beginning in the Fall 2026, the SHSAT will transition to a computer-adaptive test (CAT). A CAT is an exam that selects the questions that a student sees based on their ongoing performance. However, the NYC Department of Education has not provided any sample tests for CAT yet. We will update our practice tests as soon as official samples are provided. Learn more here: NYC DOE SHSAT
