What Makes A Great SHSAT Practice Test?

Not all practice tests prepare students equally. A high-quality SHSAT practice test should match the exam’s timing, structure, and format, provide clear explanations, and help students understand why answers are correct or incorrect — not just deliver a score.

A high-quality SHSAT practice test should:

  • Match the full-length 180-minute (or longer depending on accommodations) digital format
  • Use ELA and Math questions that mirror official SHSAT topics
  • Deliver instant scoring and detailed question explanations
  • Provide performance analytics to identify strengths and weaknesses
  • Work on any device (laptops, tablets, and Chromebooks)

SHSAT Buddy was built specifically to meet these needs for NYC students.

  • Confidence on test day through familiarization
  • Improved pacing with 3-hour timed experience
  • Actionable insights from detailed explanations
  • Focus on weak areas with section analytics
