Last Updated: June 12, 2025

Welcome to SHSATPracticeTest.org — a free learning platform built to help you prepare smarter, not harder. But before you dive in, here’s what you need to know about how our content works and what we stand for:

🎓 Educational Purpose

SHSATPracticeTest.org is an independent educational resource designed to help students prepare for the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test (SHSAT). We are not officially connected to:

  • The New York City Department of Education (NYC DOE)
  • Any NYC specialized high school
  • The SHSAT test creators or administrators
  • Any government body or agency

This site is made by students, for students — with experience, not official endorsement.

📋 About the Practice Test Content

While we do our best to make our practice questions mirror the actual SHSAT, it’s important to understand:

  • Our questions are original, created by experienced educators
  • They are not real SHSAT questions from official exams
  • We follow the publicly known format, but the real test may differ
  • This is a simulated experience, not an official replica

We encourage students to use multiple prep resources, not just one.

📊 About Practice Scores

We provide instant scoring and analytics, but here’s what you should keep in mind:

  • Your scores on our test are estimates, not guaranteed predictions
  • Test-day factors (stress, environment, etc.) can affect real performance
  • Scoring well here doesn’t guarantee the same results on the real test
  • Improvement on our tool means you’re learning — but keep practicing!

🚪 No Guaranteed Admission

We truly believe practice makes progress — but:

  • Admission into specialized high schools is not guaranteed by using this site
  • SHSAT score is just one part of the process
  • Each year’s competition changes — so always have backup options
  • Your effort and strategy matter more than any one tool

📈 Everyone’s Journey is Different

We’ve helped many students succeed — but results may vary based on:

  • Study time and consistency
  • Learning style and foundation
  • Need for extra help (tutors, courses, etc.)

This tool is designed to support your prep, not replace all learning methods.

⚙️ Technical Notices

While we work hard to keep everything running smoothly:

  • We don’t guarantee 100% uptime
  • Occasionally, score tracking or test features may have minor glitches
  • For best experience, use modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, etc.)
  • Mobile works great, but some features perform better on desktops

If something’s not working — reach out. We’ll fix it fast.

🔗 External Links

Sometimes we link to other educational websites we trust. But:

  • We don’t control their content or policies
  • They may update or change at any time
  • Use external resources at your own discretion

⚠️ Use at Your Own Risk

This platform is offered as-is, meaning:

  • No warranties, promises, or guarantees
  • We’re not responsible for admission outcomes, missed opportunities, or lost time
  • We offer this tool completely free, so our liability is limited to $0

Still, we take your learning seriously — and we’re always here to help.

🔁 Updates and Revisions

We may update:

  • Practice test content based on SHSAT changes
  • Website features, performance tools, and format
  • This disclaimer page — to reflect new policies or legal changes

Whenever we update, the “Last Updated” date at the top will change too.

👨‍🏫 Not a Replacement for Professional Help

This site is not a substitute for:

  • School guidance counselors
  • One-on-one tutors or prep centers
  • Personalized coaching or academic plans

We’re here to supplement, not replace, those resources.

👶 Age Restrictions

SHSAT is typically for 8th or 9th grade students. If you’re under 13, please use this platform with a parent or guardian’s supervision and permission.

⚖️ Legal Jurisdiction

This platform is operated from India but serves users preparing for U.S.-based (New York City) entrance exams.

By using this website, you agree that:

  • You understand and accept everything above
  • This disclaimer is governed by New York State law

If you don’t agree — we kindly ask that you don’t use the platform.
