How a class works
Step 1

Open the class page for scores, who practiced, and the topics and questions the class misses most.
What your students practice
The SHSAT (Specialized High Schools Admissions Test) is the NYC Public Schools test that decides admission to eight of New York City's nine Specialized High Schools, including Stuyvesant, Bronx Science and Brooklyn Tech (LaGuardia uses an audition). NYC residents in 8th grade, or in 9th grade for the first time, can take it in the fall before the school year they want to enter. From fall 2026 it is a computer-adaptive test on DOE computers: 50 English Language Arts questions (Revising/Editing and Reading Comprehension) and 50 Math questions in 180 minutes, with the student choosing which subject to start with and how to split the time. Each subject includes 10 unscored field-test items. There is no calculator and no formula sheet. Scaled scores in the two subjects are added into a composite that ranks students for offers; there is no pass mark.
Tigertest's practice follows NYC Public Schools' NYC Guide to the SHSAT for 2027 Admissions and its SHSAT test page. Students train in short sets where missed questions come back until they are mastered, then take full practice tests.

Questions teachers ask
Is the SHSAT class free?
Yes. Classes are free for teachers. A student in your class also gets that test's full stats and every step of it at no charge.
Do my students need accounts?
No. A student opens your class link, types the name you know them by and starts practicing. An account is optional and keeps their progress across devices.
What do I see as the teacher?
Who practiced and when, each student's practice test scores, the SHSAT topics the class is weakest on, and every question the class answered with how many missed it and which wrong answer they picked.
Can I use my own questions too?
Yes. Any account can turn its own material into a Tigertest quiz and limit it to one class, so only your students can play it.
