Choose the right full test
SHSAT practice tests for two different kinds of checkpoints.
Practice the current adaptive format or add another fixed-form checkpoint to the preparation plan.
Adaptive practice
Work through the current 100-question format as difficulty adjusts to the student’s responses.
Fixed-form practice
Use a 114-question test with the same question sequence for every student as additional timed practice.
Results and review
Use Math and ELA results with detailed explanations to decide what should receive attention next.
How it works
Choose the format, complete one attempt, then keep the review.
Adaptive and fixed-form tests are purchased individually. Each purchase provides one online test attempt, followed by results and detailed answer explanations that remain available after completion.

Review without an expiration date
Return to the completed test, results, and explanations whenever the student is ready to review.
After the test
Turn one long session into specific next steps.
A result is useful when it helps explain what happened. Review Math and ELA performance, question explanations, and areas that may need additional practice.
- Overall and section results
- Detailed answer explanations
- Areas for focused review
Use tests as checkpoints
Test, practice, then measure again.
A full-length test should not replace regular skill practice. Use it to identify priorities, spend time working on those skills, and return to another test when a new checkpoint is useful.

- Return within an active ELA passage set
- No return after advancing in Math or stand-alone ELA
- No return after submitting a subject
