SHSAT

The Specialized High School Admissions Test, or SHSAT, is used for admissions to the competitive specialized high schools in New York City, including Stuyvesant, Bronx High School of Science, and Brooklyn Technical High School. It is administered to eighth and ninth grade students once a year, in late October. In one of our more popular programs, The Ivy Key offers strategies and test-taking methods to master the SHSAT's rigorous scrambled paragraph questions, logical reasoning, reading comprehension, and math sections. Students learn the Ivy Key's patented methods for answering questions, proper test time management and strategies to maximize one’s score. The Ivy Key provides adept, experienced and friendly Ivy League educated instructors to not only teach students the core content of the SHSAT but also create the proper path to a great academic career.
