 SHSAT (Specialized High School Admissions Test) 

The SHSAT exam is for NYC 8th graders who would like to go to one of the 8 specialized high schools.  This test has become controversial in the recent past as the new chancellor has focused on the lack of diversity of these schools.  These practice books by veteran teacher Violetta Dubinina offer extra practice beyond the SHSAT Handbook from the NYCDOE website.
