SHSAT to transition to a fully digital format in the fall of 2025
According to the New York City Department of Education, the Specialized High School Admissions Test (SHSAT) will transition to a fully digital format starting in the fall of 2025, meaning the next administration of the SHSAT in digital form will be for the 2025-2026 school year;.
Key points about the SHSAT going digital:
- Fall 2025: The SHSAT will be administered digitally for the first time.
- Computer-adaptive format (planned): While the initial digital version will be a standard digital test, the plan is to transition to a computer-adaptive format in the fall of 2026, where the difficulty of questions adjusts based on the student’s answers.
SHSAT Intensive Skill-Building Workshop.
The SHSAT Intensive Skill-Building Workshop is designed to prepare students for the English Language Arts (ELA) and Math sections of the SHSAT. The course features a structured schedule of in-depth lessons, practice problems, and full-length practice tests that simulate the actual test experience. Classes are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM, with practice tests on selected Saturdays or Sundays from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
This SHSAT Intensive Skill-Building Workshop focuses on:
● Critical ELA and Math Concepts: Building a strong foundation in the core topics covered on the SHSAT, with lessons aligned to New York State Learning Standards.
● Test-Taking Strategies: Teaching proven methods for answering multiple-choice and grid-in questions efficiently, helping students manage their time effectively during the test.
● Skill Reinforcement: Identifying individual student weaknesses and targeting these areas through personalized feedback, practice problems, and in-class exercises.
● Full-Length Practice Tests: Simulating the actual SHSAT testing environment to help students get comfortable with the format and pacing of the exam while tracking progress over time.

Our tutors assist students from elementary school through high school in subjects including ELA, Science, Math, and Social Studies.

Testimonials
"My child has attended Tutoring by Christine since elementary school. As a younger student, my daughter received additional help in reading and mathematics. She has gained conceptual knowledge in mathematics and learned reading strategies which she utilizes in the classroom and while completing her homework. This has made her more confident and has built her self-esteem. Today my child is a High School honor student and she looks forward to her tutoring sessions for the NYS Regents Prep. As a parent, I am most grateful for the dedication of the staff, as a fellow educator, I am most grateful for their knowledge and the confidence they have instilled in my child."
“Thank you so much for all your support, motivation, and professionalism. We are so grateful for all you do.”
