Free·15 minutes on Google Meet·English or 中文

SHSAT registration closes Friday, October 30. The school-day test is Wednesday, November 18, and it’s the first year of the new computer-adaptive format.

Talk with a tutor who got into Stuyvesant about where your student stands and what to work on first. After the call, we send your student our full-length SHSAT practice test (100 questions, 3 hours) and compare their estimated score with last year’s specialized high school cutoffs. Backed by our money-back Score Improvement Guarantee.

Tutors who got into Stuyvesant

Our SHSAT tutors earned seats at Stuyvesant and now study at Ivy League and Top 20 universities. They sat the SHSAT themselves and know what it asks of a student.

Where your child stands

The free 35-minute diagnostic gives an estimated score next to last year's cutoffs for the specialized high schools, plus the topics to work on first. For the highest-cutoff schools, the full-length practice test is the one to take.

A report after every session

We send you a progress report after every session, so you always know what your student worked on.

SHSAT 606. Offer: Stuyvesant.

This is an actual NYC MySchools result from an IvyPath student — an SHSAT score of 606 and an offer from Stuyvesant High School, the city's most competitive specialized high school.

Every child's starting point is different. The free diagnostic gives an estimated score today and shows how it compares with last year's cutoffs. Its scores top out at 516, so for Stuyvesant, HSMSE, Queens Science, Bronx Science or Staten Island Tech, the full-length practice test is the one to take.

Prep built by people who made this exact climb.

Cohorts of 15 or fewer, a plan built from the diagnostic, and tutors who went from the SHSAT to Stuyvesant to the Ivy League.

Your investment, in plain terms.

1-on-1 tutoring starts at $75/hour. 50-hour group cohorts run in small groups of 3–15 students. On your free 15-minute consultation, we go through which plan fits your student and the investment, with no obligation. The diagnostic is free either way.

Score Improvement Guarantee

Raise your child's official SHSAT score, or your money back.

On eligible programs, if your child’s official SHSAT score doesn’t improve by at least 30 points over their official baseline — or, for first-time takers, clear the prior year’s specialized-high-school cutoff — you choose a refund or additional tutoring at no charge until it does.

Eligible on 50-hour group and 40+ hour 1-on-1 programs. Requires 95% attendance, 90% homework completion, and an official baseline and retest. Full terms reviewed on your call.

Questions parents ask.

What happens on the free consultation?
It’s 15 minutes on Google Meet with a tutor who got into Stuyvesant, in English or 中文. We talk about where your student stands today and a realistic target, what we’d work on first, and a recommendation only if it fits. There’s no pressure either way, and you keep the advice regardless. Pick a time →
Is the diagnostic really free?
Yes, completely free, with no payment and no obligation. The online diagnostic takes about 35 minutes, and the full-length practice test we send after your consultation is free too. You'll see your child's estimated score next to last year's specialized high school cutoffs, and a tutor goes through it with you.
How does the Score Improvement Guarantee work?
On eligible programs (50-hour group and 40+ hour 1-on-1), if your child completes the program — 95% attendance, 90% of homework, and all practice tests — and their official SHSAT score doesn’t rise at least 30 points over their official baseline (or, for first-time takers, clear the prior year’s specialized-high-school cutoff), you choose a refund or free additional tutoring until it does. Full terms are reviewed on your call.
Who are the tutors?
Our SHSAT tutors are Stuyvesant graduates now studying at Ivy League and Top 20 universities. They took the SHSAT themselves, and we match your child to the right fit.
When is the SHSAT, and when should we start?
The school-day SHSAT is Wednesday, November 18, 2026, and registration closes Friday, October 30. Weekend test dates are Saturday and Sunday, November 14 and 15, and Saturday, November 21 is the last weekend date. Fall 2026 is the first year of the new computer-adaptive format, and the earlier you start, the more preparation time your child has before test day.
How much time does my child need to study?
We typically recommend around two hours a week of focused work alongside sessions, but it's tailored to your child's gap and schedule. The diagnostic shows us where to focus, so no time is wasted.
Do you offer support in Mandarin or Chinese?
Yes. We have bilingual support available for families who prefer to communicate in Mandarin or Chinese — just let us know on your consultation.

SHSAT cohorts are kept to 15 students or fewer, so each student gets real attention. The fall test date drives our schedule; earlier signups get more preparation time.

Talk to a tutor who got in.

Book a free 15-minute consultation or call. We’ll talk through where your student stands, send our full-length practice test, and go through the results with you.
