Questions parents ask.

Is the diagnostic really free?
Yes — completely free, with no payment and no obligation. It's a real, calibrated SHSAT-level diagnostic. You'll get a clear breakdown of your child's score against the specialized high school cutoffs, reviewed with a real tutor.
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 aced this exact exam themselves, and we match your child to the right fit.
When is the SHSAT, and when should we start?
The next SHSAT is November 12, 2026, and fall 2026 is the first year of the new computer-adaptive format. The earlier you start, the more preparation time your child has — and the more we can move the score 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 tells us exactly 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.
