*** Other SHSAT preparation materials from “SHSAT NYC Prep Team” are available or will become available for your Amazon Kindle.

This Kindle eBook only contains SHSAT Logical Reasoning problems. The actual SHSAT contains Mathematics, Reading and Scrambled Paragraphs sections as well, but this eBook does NOT cover those sections.

This Kindle eBook is intended for use by current EIGHTH and NINTH graders applying for New York City’s Specialized High Schools.

From the “SHSAT Handbook”…
The Logical Reasoning section consists of 10 questions that assess your ability to reason logically, using the facts, concepts and information presented. You must guard against jumping to conclusions that are not warranted from the information given. There are different types of figuring out codes, determining the relative positions of things or people, identifying correct assumptions, and drawing valid conclusions.

The most important strategy is to read the information carefully and make no assumptions that are not supported by the given information. Certain words must be read carefully. For example, between cannot be assumed to mean between and right next to; other things may be between these two objects as well. The same may be true of words such as above, below, before, and after.

Another good strategy is to look for information that is definitely stated, such as, “The red box is the largest,” or “Jane is not standing next to Erik.” This information makes it easier to determine the relative relationships.

What is the purpose of these 70 SHSAT Logical Reasoning practice exercises?

A pervasive characteristic of the SHSAT New York City specialized high schools admission exam is that it is very difficult, oftentimes featuring test questions one to two grade levels above your child’s current school curriculum. The SHSAT targets a small, highly competitive group of students applying for New York City’s specialized high schools.

Using our years of experience developing training guides for a national test preparation company, we have created SHSAT study materials that closely approximate the sequence, scope, phrasing and difficulty level of the actual exam. We have accomplished this through years of meticulous research into individual SHSAT test questions and through information acquired from former test participants. Thousands of applicants have worked through the SHSAT Logical Reasoning practice exercises contained within this Kindle eBook to enhance their candidacies for New York City’s specialized high schools.
