By using our site, you agree to the terms below. If you don’t agree, we kindly ask that you don’t use the platform.

Our goal is simple: to give every student fair access to quality SHSAT prep — no accounts, no paywalls, no pressure.

📶 Service Availability

  • Our services are 100% free
  • While we aim to stay online 24/7, occasional updates or maintenance might cause brief downtime
  • We may update features, tools, or layouts anytime to improve your experience

👤 Who Can Use This Platform

  • Students typically in 8th or 9th grade preparing for the SHSAT
  • Students under 13 should only use the site with parent or guardian supervision
  • Parents, teachers, or tutors may also use the site to support learners

✅ Acceptable Use Policy

You’re welcome to use our tools for learning and personal growth, but you agree not to:

  • Copy or repost our questions or explanations
  • Try to hack, reverse engineer, or misuse our test system
  • Use bots, scrapers, or automation tools
  • Post spam, fake data, or anything inappropriate
  • Interfere with the experience for other users

🔐 Account & Device Safety

We don’t require logins. But:

  • If you’re on a public/shared device, clear your browser history after taking a test
  • If privacy is important, avoid sharing test devices or browsers with others

⚠️ Practice Test Accuracy Disclaimer

We do our best to keep the test as realistic and helpful as possible. But please note:

  • These are not real SHSAT questions
  • Our test format may differ slightly from the official one
  • Practice scores may not reflect actual SHSAT performance
  • No guarantees are made about admissions or score increases

Use our tools as a strong support, but combine them with other resources and strategies.

But please don’t:

  • Copy, republish, or sell our content

Full details are available in our Privacy Policy.

🌐 Third-Party Links & Tools

Sometimes we link to helpful external sites or use third-party tools for analytics or security. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.

🚫 Limitations of Liability

This is a free educational resource provided “as is.” That means:

  • We can’t promise perfect accuracy or performance
  • We are not liable for admissions outcomes, lost time, or technical issues
  • Your use of the site is at your own risk

Maximum liability (if any): $0, since the service is free.

⚖️ Legal Jurisdiction

Even though we operate from India, this platform is built for U.S. students preparing for NYC’s SHSAT.

Therefore, these terms are governed by the laws of New York State, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

If any dispute arises:

  • We encourage open communication first
  • Legal action must be taken under New York jurisdiction
  • If one part of these terms is found invalid, the rest remains enforceable

🔄 Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms and Conditions if:

  • We add new tools or change features
  • Laws or best practices change
  • We need to clarify something

You’ll always find the latest version here, and we’ll highlight major updates on our site.
