Sum Slicer

A math game for kindergarten through grade six. Slice the fruit, answer the sum. This is not test prep — it is the part of math a child will do without being asked. Free, with ads; a $2.99 purchase removes them.

Sum Blocks

A block puzzle for kindergarten through grade six: drag three shapes onto the grid, fill a row, and it clears. The math is a separate bonus question between rounds rather than a toll on the puzzle, so this is not test prep — it is the game a child opens on their own, with a new daily board that is the same for everybody. Free, with ads only after a game ends; a $2.99 purchase removes them.

The exams

Every New York exam, one place.

Each exam is its own product with its own question bank, its own scoring, and its own rules, because a Regents subject test and an admissions exam have almost nothing in common.

What score does your child actually need?

The eight specialized high schools publish a real cutoff every year. Drag the sliders to see where a score lands. Then change how hard the questions were, and watch it swing by a hundred points without the number correct changing at all. That is what “adaptive” means, and it is the thing most families find out too late.

See the full cutoff scores for all eight schools, plus what the TACHS and HSPT numbers really mean.

Our approach

What every exam we publish has in common.

The exam changes. The standard doesn't. Whatever test your child is preparing for, these six things hold.

Written from scratch

Every question and reading passage is original work, written for this product and reviewed against the official scope for that exam. Nothing is licensed, scanned or adapted from another publisher.

Full length, properly timed

The real question count and the real clock. A shortened test tells you very little, and tells a parent even less.

Every wrong answer explained

Each incorrect option carries its own explanation of the specific misunderstanding that leads there, on every question of every exam we sell, with nothing left to a generic note.

Exams that compare

Within an exam, the practice exams are calibrated against each other, so a score on the third sitting can be honestly compared with the first. Otherwise progress is guesswork.

Results go to the parent

Students see a neutral finishing screen. The report goes to you. A score read alone, without context, does more harm than good at thirteen.

Accommodations respected

Extra time can be set to match an IEP, 504 or ELL plan, and the conditions used are printed on the report so results are never compared across different settings.

How it works

Three steps, whichever exam you're preparing for.

1

Try a section at no cost

Ten real questions from the exam itself, each wrong answer explained. You see exactly what you would be buying before you pay anything.

2

Sit the exam at home

Full length on any computer. It can be paused and resumed with the exact time remaining if the afternoon falls apart.

3

Read the report

Section scores, performance at each level of difficulty, and a walk through every question with the reasoning behind each answer.

Simple pricing. Pay per exam.

Pay per exam with no subscription and nothing to cancel. Every exam we publish is priced the same way.

See full pricing
Straight answers

What we don't claim.

Test preparation is full of promises no one can keep. Here is where we stop, so you can judge the report you receive.

We do not predict an official score

New York does not publish the table that converts answers into official scaled scores. Anyone claiming to predict one is guessing.

Our percentile is an estimate

No official score distribution is published. Ours is constructed from published admissions figures and is always reported as a range.

A single section is not a full result

Admissions cutoffs are composite scores. A one-section sitting receives no composite and no cutoff comparison, because implying one would mislead.

We do not promise an outcome

No practice exam can. What it can do is ensure that test day is not the first time your child meets the format.

For tutors and centers

Teaching other people’s children?

Start every new student with a full-length evaluation and you will know which topics are costing them points before you plan the first lesson, instead of spending three sessions finding out. One roster, one balance of credits, every student’s progress in one place.

Get started

Try ten real questions before you pay.

Taken straight out of the exams we sell, not written to be easy. Pick an answer and you see the exact mistake behind whichever option you chose. No account, no card.

Prefer to sit an exam under real conditions?

A proctored exam in a quiet room, with staff on hand, is closer to test day than any kitchen table. We recommend Huntington Learning Center of Bay Ridge, 514 86th St, Brooklyn, NY 11209.
