What is the SHSAT?

The Specialized High School Admissions Test (SHSAT) is a high school admissions test that students in New York must take to be accepted into one of the specialized high schools. The SHSAT is composed of a Revising/Editing section, a reading comprehension section, and a math section. This course focuses solely on the math portion of the SHSAT.
