WHAT IS INCLUDED ON MY REPORT?

WHAT TESTS DO YOU USE?
- City Smarts uses a mix of officially released and proprietary exams for testing. If your child has already taken official tests, please let us know which ones and we will make sure to proctor something they haven't seen.
- City Smarts offers the digital adaptive SAT, computer-based ACT, and computer-adaptive SHSAT using a custom testing platform that replicates the features of the official exams.
DO YOU ACCOMMODATE EXTRA TIME?
- We are currently able to accommodate 1.5x time. We are unable to proctor 2x or multi-day tests.
CAN I HAVE A COPY OF THE TEST?
- Students taking digital tests can access their test questions and answers via our platform.
HOW DO I CHECK-OUT?
- Select your desired date on the calendar and follow the prompts to complete your enrollment.
DO YOU OFFER THE ACT IN PAPER FORMAT? CAN STUDENTS TAKE IT WITHOUT THE SCIENCE SECTION?
- Yes to both. We offer the ACT in digital and paper formats. Parents can select their preferred format at checkout. We also offer the option to take either the core test (English, Math, Reading) or the full core + science version.
THE SHSAT IS MOVING TO AN ADAPTIVE FORMAT. WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY PROCTORING?
- We're on top of it. Right now we proctor the most recent computer-based SHSAT with tech-enhanced items. Beginning in late May 2026, we will be launching computer-adaptive SHSAT tests designed for the 2026–27 testing cycle.
