Practice makes perfect and when studying for standardized tests, nothing beats practicing with actual questions from past exams. This year\u2019s SHSAT test takers are in a bit of a more complicated situation than in the past because the Verbal section of the test was recently revised. The great news is that the confusing ordering paragraphs questions have been eliminated, as have the logical reasoning questions. The bad news is that studying without actual test questions is a dicey affair and only the 2018-2019 SHSAT handbook reflects the current Verbal section. However, the reading comprehension questions from past exams are still relevant and should be practiced, as should all of the Mathematics questions.<\/p>\n

SHSAT Practice Tests<\/h3>\n

Below are links to SHSAT handbooks, which include actual exams. The SHSAT still consists of 2 sections: the Verbal and the Mathematics sections. Each section is 75 minutes, the Verbal section now consists of reading comprehension and revising\/editing questions. The revising\/editing questions are based on the standards set in the\u00a07th grade Common Core ELA State Standards<\/a>.<\/p>\n
