SHSAT Study Plan After a Free Practice Test

The best SHSAT study plan starts with data. Take a free SHSAT practice test, note ELA versus Math gaps, then build a weekly routine that mixes skill drills and timed full-lengths.

  1. Phase 1

    Week 1 — Diagnose

    Complete the Tests Pro diagnostic untimed if you are new to the format, then review every miss. Tag errors as content gap, careless, or pacing.

  2. Phase 2

    Weeks 2–3 — Fix the weaker section

    Spend about 70% of study time on the lower section. ELA: grammar, revision, evidence-based reading. Math: arithmetic fluency, algebra, word problems, and grid-ins.

  3. Phase 3

    Week 4 — Timed mix

    Do mixed sets under partial timing. Practice bubbling grid-ins carefully. No calculator—ever.

  4. Phase 4

    Every 4–5 weeks — Full official form

    Sit NYC DOE Form A or B in one 180-minute block. Score raw corrects per section and compare to your previous sitting.

  5. Phase 5

    Retake the Tests Pro diagnostic

    Use the free online SHSAT practice test again to confirm whether your weaker section improved before the next full-length.
