A revised third edition of this everything-you-need-to-know guide to the New York City Specialized High Schools Admissions Test, used to determine admissions for 8 of NYC's 9 specialized high schools (for gifted and artistic students).
Each year in October, around 30,000 eighth- and ninth-graders sit for the SHSAT, an exam which is the sole determinant of admission to 8 of New York City's 9 specialized high schools. These schools, like Stuyvesant and the Bronx HS of Science, offer elite academics and a prestigious step up to college for students lucky enough to earn a spot. But the process is highly competitive, with only 17% of students awarded seats.
Cracking the SHSAT, 3rd Edition, is an updated version of The Princeton Review's guide to this ultra-specific exam. It provides an overview of the NYC SHS admissions process and exam, review for all four sections of the test, and strategies for approaching each section efficiently.
