State test practice,
grades 3 to 8.
The annual New York State assessments in ELA and Mathematics — and the earliest honest read a family can get on where a child stands, years before an admissions exam matters.
Why we care about the early grades.
A sixth grader practising the state tests is years ahead by the time the SHSAT or TACHS matters. Starting early is the single biggest advantage a student can have, and it costs nothing but time.
- ELA and Mathematics, in each of grades 3 through 8 — twelve separate question banks
- Sat each spring, administered by the New York State Education Department
- Not admissions exams: these measure grade-level standards, not selection
- Useful as an early, low-stakes check on where a child actually stands
- The same student record carries forward to the admissions exams later
