How to Use the SHSAT Score Predictor

Predicting your NYC admission chances requires precise data. Follow these steps to use our 2026 tool effectively:

  1. Mock Test Results: Take a full-length practice test under timed conditions (180 minutes).
  2. ELA Raw Score: Count the number of correct answers out of the 47 scored questions (10 are field questions).
  3. Math Raw Score: Do the same for the Math section (47 scored questions).
  4. Scaling: Enter these raw counts into our SHSAT Score Calculator to get your composite scaled score out of 800.

Why is SHSAT Scoring So Complex?

Unlike standard tests, the SHSAT heavily rewards "outliers." This means a student who gets nearly all questions right in one section may score higher than a student with the same raw total split evenly between sections. At TrendCartTools, we provide 100% Free keywords tools to account for this nonlinear scaling, helping you decide if you should focus more on Math or ELA to maximize your composite total.

Specialized High Schools Cutoff Trends (2026)

Historically, Stuyvesant High School has the highest cutoff, followed by Bronx Science and Brooklyn Tech. Our tool compares your predicted score against recent trends. For example, a 560+ is usually safe for Stuyvesant, while a 490+ might secure a spot at Brooklyn Tech. By using this tool, you can set realistic goals for your 8th or 9th-grade testing season.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How many questions are on the SHSAT?

There are 114 questions total (57 ELA, 57 Math). However, only 94 are scored; 20 are "field questions" for future testing research.

Is the curve the same every year?

No, the curve depends on the difficulty of the test and student performance. Our 2026 model uses a normalized curve based on the last 5 years of DOE data.

What is a good raw score?

Aiming for 40+ correct in each section is generally the threshold for entering the competitive range for specialized schools.
