Questions Written by Real Experts
Every question is written by people who have prepared NYC students for the SHSAT for decades. Not AI. Not recycled old content.
Analytics That Tell You What to Fix
ScoreSmart shows you which topics are costing you points and which questions took too long even the ones you got right. Our Par Time feature compares your timing to other students aiming for the same score range.
Smart Timing Analytics
Sometimes you get a question right, but took too much time. On most score reports, these questions are invisible. On ScoreSmart we will show you not just where you are losing points, but also where you are losing time, regardless of whether or not you got the question right.
Performance Insights
ScoreSmart performance analysis is smart and efficient. Score reports that are too granular miss the trends, score reports that are too broad don’t give you actionable insights. ScoreSmart’s analytics have been designed by NYC’s most elite tutors to give you the insights you need to move your score

Why Us
Common SHSAT Challenges Students Face
The SHSAT is a high stakes exam. It is given only once and only the top 16% +/- will get admitted. If you are not prepared, you will not make the cut.
Time Management Under Pressure
Many students know the material but run out of time before finishing all the questions.
Reading Comprehension Traps
The SHSAT is full of tricky passages and “almost correct” answers that make it difficult to choose the best option.
Math Word Problems
Students often struggle to translate real-world scenarios into equations, slowing them down and causing mistakes.
Test Anxiety
Sitting for such a high-stakes exam can be overwhelming, leading to stress that affects performance.
