Proctored Mock Testing
Mock testing gives students the chance to practice time management, build test endurance, and tackle test anxiety in a simulated testing environment. All of our mock tests include a detailed score report and diagnostic.
Mock tests and reports are available to all students, regardless of whether they use City Smarts for other services.
IN-PERSON MOCK TESTING
City Smarts offers proctored in-person mock testing at our the City Smarts Annex (337 Smith St.).
VIRTUAL MOCK TESTING
Test takers log-in to Zoom on Sunday morning remotely and simply test at home. Our proctor will monitor test-taking via videoconference, proctoring exams section-by-section and ensuring correct testing procedures.
IMPORTANT: All remote tests are mailed to students. This ensures that all sections are printed correctly and students have bubble sheets to work from that can be graded. You will not be able to register for a Sunday exam after Thursday, as we have to ensure enough time for the tests to arrive.

MOCK TEST FAQ
WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY CHILD'S SCORE REPORT?
Students will receive a detailed score report no later than Thursday at 11 a.m. If your child works with a City Smarts tutor, we will also deliver the score report to him/her.
WHEN SHOULD MY CHILD SHOW UP?
Please arrive at 337 Smith St. no earlier than 8:45am and no later than 9am. All materials are included.
WHAT IS INCLUDED ON MY REPORT?
Our score report includes an overall performance assessment, content-area break down, and various instructional recommendations.
WHAT TESTS DO YOU USE?
City Smarts uses a mixture of officially released and proprietary materials for testing. For national tests such as the ACT or SAT, we proctor exams designed by the official testing agencies. For New York-centric tests such as the Hunter Exam and SHSAT, we may also proctor tests that we have designed.
If your child has already taken official tests, please let us know which ones, and we will make sure to proctor something he/she hasn't seen.
City Smarts offers Digital Adaptive Mock SAT testing using our proprietary software.
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?
In most cases, we are happy to provide a copy of the test. With tests that we have designed, however, we may elect to only share select problems.
