New York practice tests that explain every answer
Full-length, timed practice written from scratch. After each exam you get a report that explains every wrong answer, so you know what to work on next.
Taking a test yourself? Civil service, real estate, CDL, insurance and ASVAB are all here too.
Not just a score. Why each answer was wrong.
Every exam ends in a report for you, not the child: how each part of the test went, and every question with the answer they chose, the right one, and why theirs was wrong.
The answer is B. 2 1/2
Short practice through the school year, not just in spring.
Two short sessions a week on the skills your child is still working on, with fresh questions each time and a progress check you can read in a minute.
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.
SHSAT
Four complete adaptive exams built to the fall 2026 format: 50 ELA, 50 Math, three hours.

We cover the New York exams people actually sit, for children and for adults. If yours is not listed here, tell us.
Get in touchGet it wrong. That’s the useful part.
These are real questions from the bank. Pick any answer, including a wrong one, and see the explanation your child would get.
Simple pricing. Pay per exam.
Pay per exam with no subscription and nothing to cancel. Most exams are 5 credits, from $25.00 to $29.99 depending on the pack. A CDL endorsement is 1 credit and the learner permit test is free.
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.
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.
New York does not publish the table that converts answers into official scaled scores. Anyone claiming to predict one is guessing.
No official score distribution is published. Ours is constructed from published admissions figures and is always reported as a range.
Admissions cutoffs are composite scores. A one-section sitting receives no composite and no cutoff comparison, because implying one would mislead.
No practice exam can. What it can do is ensure that test day is not the first time your child meets the format.
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.
What NY Exam actually does.
A short overview of the exams, how the practice works, and what a parent gets back when a child finishes one.
What the video covers, in writing
New York families face the same question: is my child actually ready for this test? Most practice materials are generic, or they hand you a score and nothing else, so test day becomes the first time a child sees the real thing.
NY Exam is full-length practice for the tests New Yorkers actually sit: the SHSAT and TACHS, the HSPT and ISEE, the Grade 3 to 8 State Tests, AP, the ASVAB, the NYC civil service exams and the New York real estate exams. Every exam has its own question types and its own scoring.
The bank holds over nine thousand seven hundred original questions and more than five hundred reading passages across seventy-six full-length exams, all written from scratch. Nothing is licensed and nothing is scraped.
Every wrong answer carries its own explanation, so a child does not just see a score, they see exactly why an answer was wrong. Exams run full length and properly timed, like test day. A sitting can be paused and picked up with the same time remaining, and extra time can be set to match an IEP, a 504 Plan or ELL status.
When the exam is finished the report shows section performance and a walkthrough of every question. For the SHSAT there is a free cutoff score tool that explains how the composite score works and what past cutoffs were for each specialized high school.
Parents buy and assign exams from the free NY Exam app, and children sign in with their own passcode to sit them. Tutors and learning centers manage every student from one roster. You pay per exam, with no subscription, and ten real questions are free with no card required.
The NY Exam app, and two games from us.
One app for the whole family. You buy exams, set them and read the report. Your child signs in with their own passcode and sits the test full screen, with no browser controls to wander off into and a clock that survives the app being closed. Free to download.
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.
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.

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.
