Publisher's Synopsis
Admission into New York City's specialized public high schools is an incredibly competitive process—about only 3 percent of the total applicants are accepted! Taken by eighth- and ninth-graders, the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test (SHSAT) is a critical part of the application process to these prestigious institutions. Offered once a year, the SHSAT consists of a verbal section, divided into verbal reasoning and reading comprehension, and a mathematics section.SHSAT: Power Practice provides the concentrated practice students need to earn a top score. Inside is access to 7 practice exams, all based on the official test, with detailed answer explanations. In addition, this new title provides students with important information about the exam—who takes it, what's on it, when it's given, how to register, and how it's scored.
