City Smarts SHSAT FOUNDATIONS SMALL GROUP
Our SHSAT clinics are designed to instill 7th graders with an authentic, content-level understanding of the SHSAT. In this 8 week program, your 7th grader will become a confident test taker. At the end of the course, each student will have the opportunity to sit for a full length mock exam. They will receive a detailed score report with recommendations. Read below to learn what makes our program proudly different, and enroll today.
Our class format is the result of over a decade of parent and student feedback, and it is distinct from nearly anything offered by other companies. As students progress through a classroom test prep curriculum, their needs tend to diverge from one another; it is impossible–or at least very difficult–to fine-tune individual technique in a one-size-fits-all classroom format. Consequently, we view classes as a valuable component in a holistic test prep sequence. By the end of our course, students will have built a strong foundation for SHSAT testing. Armed with a detailed knowledge of their individual strengths and weaknesses, students will be prepared to pivot to pinpoint private or small-group lessons.

75 Minutes of Instruction
We believe that 75 minutes is an ideal amount of effective instructional time for 7th graders learning the SHSAT: just the right length to keep your child engaged but not exhausted.
Holistic approach
Every year, our SHSAT students find that their grades in math class improve in tandem with our instruction; this is because we focus on building content knowledge rather than slick tricks. City Smarts believes that the best way to conquer the SHSAT is to actually learn the material and become confident in the test’s structure. Our instruction has a lasting impact that will serve your child in school and on subsequent standardized tests.
time management and test day strategies
Not only does City Smarts teach content, but we also devote time to pacing, overcoming test anxiety, and time management.
Diagnostics
Our course concludes with a full length mock exam. Each student will receive a detailed test report that not only outlines in which areas he or she needs to continue improving, but also serves as a benchmark for overall progress. Because City Smarts also offers one of the most robust private SHSAT tutoring programs in the city, we guarantee that we will have guidance in place, should your child need it.
