Find Weak Spots Before Fall
This pack is built for parents who want one clear summer skill checkpoint before the fall SHSAT season begins.
Use it before buying another large class package: see whether your child needs more work in reading, revising and editing, algebra, geometry, word problems, pacing, or test stamina.
For the fall 2026 SHSAT, families should also practice digital and adaptive-test habits: answer carefully the first time, avoid relying on backtracking, and use NYCPS online tools to get comfortable with the platform.
After the test, the worked solutions and parent guide help turn missed questions into a simple weak-spot map for the next few weeks of summer practice.
This independent practice pack contains original practice questions. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any test publisher, school district, or testing organization.
