- When is the SHSAT?
- Registered 8th grade students who attend a public DOE middle school: Will test at their current school during a school day TBD in Fall of each academic school year.
- Registered 8th grade students who attend charter, private, parochial, or independent schools, or who are homeschooled: Will test at a central DOE location on designated dates in December.
- All registered 9th grade students: will test at a central DOE location (linked above) on designated dates in December.
- Registration for the SHSAT: Registration is now open for the SHSAT. Registration is not first-come first-served; all students who register by the deadline will be able to take the SHSAT.
- Families will be able to register their child in the family-facing MySchools site (myschools.nyc).
- Like last year, families or school staff will indicate each child’s preference order for the testing Specialized High Schools when they submit their SHSAT registration in MySchools.
- The deadline to register for the SHSAT is typically in November.
- How many students are accepted to SITHS?
- 9th Grade = Approximately 360, 10th Grade = Approximately 10-20
- How is the SHSAT graded?
- Students are ranked from highest to lowest based upon their SHSAT score. In rank order, students are matched to their highest ranked school, which also still has available seats. Once a student is matched to a school that no longer has any seats, the next school on their ranked choice is matched to the student, as long as that school still has available seats.
- Cut off score for Admission?
- The cutoff score varies from year to year and isn’t really a cutoff score set by the NYC DOE, but more so the score of the person who earned the 360th (last) seat.
- Does SI Tech have to be ranked first?
- The school that is your highest prioritized school should be ranked first. If you rank SITHS second or third, it is more likely that a student who prioritized SITHS higher will be matched to the seat.
