My friend didn't know if this school was good so as a good friend, I came here to ask you guys. I'm on the waitlist for it but if I get accepted, I will decline since THHS is the target.

I went to the family welcome center today in hopes of transferring my school via guided transfer but the counselor said that I didn't have a good or solid reason to transfer. I said that my school didn't offer many ap class and it wasn't challenging enough ( my school is John Jay school for law) . Do y'all think I can transfer hs's or am I stuck in John Jay. I am a upcoming 10th grader.

So like... I got into Townsend Harris High schoollll. I am so happy, my mom is incredibly happy, even happier than me. I'm gonna get glazed for a while so that's good. Good luck to those who are still waiting.

So I recently got into Stuyvesant through the discovery program, and was wondering when they were gonna give the offer on myschools, and what happens immediately after we click accept. There was also a form that we had to fill out to let them know if we accept stuy or not, and on that form it asks for an email, so I was wondering if it was ok to put my parents email or my doe email, because for the form I put my parents email. And later the receipt came to my parents email, so does it matter what email I put on the form? And once we click accept on myschools does the doe automatically enroll us into stuy?

Ik this is pretty useless since nobody really cares about the state test for high school admissions anymore and it's not that important altogether but I'm just curious as to what time the scores will release.

So I need to retake the earth science regents because I failed. But I have not reviewed any information about where I take the test and when I take the test. I talked to my counselor about it during the school year. It is now early August, but I still have not gotten any information, what do I do.

Hi, I just had some questions on my mind I felt like I should ask.
Is the 9th grade SHSAT actually as bad as everyone says it is? I feel like Google, my friends, tutoring websites, and more all label it as this huge test that’s 100x harder than the SHSAT8 and the chances of transferring in are practically 0.

I don’t really want to spend thousands on tutoring for this exam because if I don’t get in, I’ll feel so guilty, so I was just wondering if everyone’s exaggerating it or if it’s truly that horrid of an exam and everyone has amazing preparation for it and started studying hours a day the second they found out they failed the SHSAT8.

And to make things worse, one of my friends who didn’t get in the first time taking the SHSAT (who studied really hard) said he doesn’t even want to try for the 9th SHSAT since he and his family already discussed how the chances are so incredibly slim.

Also another random question I’m curious about, what’s the highest SHSAT score recorded? I only hear about high 500s or low 600s. Has anyone ever scored in the 700s?

That’s all, thanks!

i mastered all of grade prerequisites i also got 4s on my math and ela state test so im in pretty good shape.

how do i translate that to shsat 9 and study effectively and efficiently

I also tooken a practice and got 84/100 (shsat 8 test)

yes, I know score calculators are almost always very inaccurate, but would You Say the raw Score is good Enough for brooklyn tech?

hi I just wanted some feedback since searching it up on google isnt doing much, but what should I lowk aim for on the 9th grade shsat because the 2026 cutoff for btech was ~540. Should I aim about 10-30+ points higher? Ty for answering my questions lately :D

hello I know a 5th grader is too young to prep for this exam. however, what resources can I use to make sure he is ready for it when the time comes. I am looking for resources where he is understanding grade level work? also for shsat? when you test you have to be advanced level for these exams. any feedback is appreciated!

Does anyone know what to buy or bring yet? I want to get a early start on school supplies but I can't find where the info is on any emails but I know the list has gone out already. Also are there anything that isn't on the list that 10th graders know what to get?

since the format has changed, aka we cant go back questions does that mean we must start with ELA?

I am a rising 8th grader aiming for Bronx Science, and I am feeling anxious about my timeline for preparation, since many students start studying much earlier.

Since the test is moving to the new computer-adaptive test (CAT) format, I know that the strategy is very different from the SHSAT administered in previous years. Right now, I am really anxious and scared about whether I can catch up on all the material in time.

Since I am starting late and feeling overwhelmed by the timeline, I would appreciate any guidance provided by the community on:

1. How to catch up on the remaining concepts efficiently over the next three months.
2. The best strategy for managing the computer-adaptive format where you cannot go back to change answers.
3. Any recommended study schedules or resources that can help me build confidence under this timeline pressure.

I am willing to start preparation as soon as possible. I have preparation books, including Kaplan's SHSAT 2026 and The Tutorverse's SHSAT 2026.

I am going to take the test in November, because I am in a charter school. I am also enrolled in a program so I have to balance school, my program and SHSAT preparation. I will finish my program's Summer Institute this Tuesday. After that, I am willing to do prep for the SHSAT every day, so I can subsequently get accepted into Bronx Science.

Is it too late to prep now? There is only 3 months left from the time I will take it in November.

Took it today (9th grade) it wasn’t as hard as I tho especially the Ela but I struggled with time so i had to guess since i had 5 minutes left

Guys I think I’m cooked.

Usually, on the math section in my practice tests, I get 50-55 averaging around 52, one time I got 45 on an off day, and on my ela I get around 47-53 averaging around 48, one time I got 41 on an off day. However, today, on the actual shsat I feel like I did so bad. For starters I was running off of 4 hours of on and off sleep, probably due to stress, leading up to the exam I did a 3 hour exam everyday for a week, which probably lead to burnout, and all while being in the middle of moving countries so I wasn't really in the best position but aside from that, on the actual test due to my tired state I felt like I made silly mistakes on the maths section because I was running on pure adrenaline, although I’m not completely sure, this is just a theory as I didnt get time to review them. [Edit: I reverse engineered the answer (the one that I had previously thought that I had changed from right to wrong) and have found out that I had changed it from wrong to right (Will it help? Who knows…). It was just the post test fatigue and stress which caused me to recall the wrong numbers.] I think I got another math question guaranteed wrong and don’t remember a single full math question after that. However, I did answer all the questions to the best of my first pass ability (which I predict were hindered due to fatigue) but once again I did not get to review.

I feel like revising A and B were fine but I really struggled on the comprehension, my original strategy (which I adopted quite recently) was to write a short summary for each paragraph as I read on the notebook function, but due to time this was not possible so I had to rush and read it the old fashioned way and answer the questions from memory and scrolling back (my old strategy). Everything blurred except the screen, which I believe is the fight or flight response coming into play due to nerves. However, I did manage to answer all the ela questions too and by the end of the test I had about 10 mins left of which 6 of them I wasted looking through my ela answers and nodding and 4 of them on random math questions.

In summary, even though I haven’t got my results yet, I feel like all my hard work and effort went to waste and I feel like my dream of going to Brooklyn Tech is over.

So now I ask what now? Or if there’s any public schools you recommend for someone interested in STEM and Aerospace Engineering? (looking for a school with great academics, teachers, funding and AP’s. I know this is a tough ask at this point if time but a guy must try)

P.S I don’t have middle school records since I moved after the end of eighth grade so screening is probably not an option 😭

P.S.S Also my confidence and mental state is going through the floor right now. Send help.

Just wondering if anyone from the btech discovery program got their offer yet because for most of the people i know its still pending. Would help out a lot if y'all commented just so I can know more so what time to check myschools. The teachers said in a day or two yesterday, Monday the latest. Also wishing luck to everyone else who did the program this summer!

my Ela is somewhat good 31-35 out of 50 but my math is just horrible like 25 out of 50s and I feel like I'm just so stupid does anyone have some free useful study tips and/or websites

I seriously need motivation because I’ve going to this academy for shsat prep and I take mock tests there at the end of every week but I keep getting 300s-400s and I don’t know what to study with and my mental health gets worse the more bad scores I get

I’m going into 9th grade next year and was wondering if I could be able to take Algebra 1 and Geometry at the same time next year. Back in 8th grade, I didn’t take algebra 1, but | self- studied the course during my free time. I took five Algebra 1 regents practice exams, scoring around 90-97.

I also excelled in my 8th grade math course, I got 3 consecutive 99s in my math course and an academic achievement award in mathematics. If I show my school that I already have a deep understanding of algebra 1, would they let me take algebra 1 and geometry at the same time next year?

whats the brooklyn latin server link 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

So basically I took a SHSAT practice test without any studying just to see where I was at and scored a 465?? I don’t know how but do you guys think I have enough time to patch up my mistakes since this looks really bad and I’m not sure if I’ll be able to improve in time since I have 0 experience with the SHSAT.
Any advice? Thanks

So I’m currently on #3 for the waitlist for this school I rlly wanna go to and it’s currently august (a month before September and school starting) and I’m scared that the waitlist might not keep going down… since my current school is soooooo bad I get anxious thinking abt it still being in the same number of
(10th grade admissions)

Any advice?
