The technical terms and general concepts in these test questions can be found in the New York State Education Department P-12 Common Core Learning Standards for Mathematics. Most problems involve application of topics covered in the Common Core; however, since the Common Core is just an outline, not all details of a topic are provided. Consequently, some aspects of a question may not be mentioned. As one of the purposes of this test is to identify students who will benefit from an education at a Specialized High School, the SHSAT contains many questions that require using mathematical ability to respond creatively to novel situations. The NYSED P-12 Common Core Learning Standards for Mathematics can be downloaded from the New York State Education Department www.nysed.gov. - You must know the meanings of technical terms such as “parallel” and “perpendicular” that are appropriate to your grade level, as well as the customary symbols that represent those terms. You also need to know various formulas such as those for the perimeter and area of different figures. You can find these technical terms, symbols, and formulas in your mathematics textbook. These terms, symbols, and formulas will NOT be given in the test booklet. Practice using them until you know them by heart. - Read each problem carefully and work out the answer on scrap paper. - You may draw figures or diagrams for questions that do not have them. - Some questions ask you to combine a series of simple steps. Take one step at a time, using what you know and what the question tells you to do. What is the purpose of these 200 SHSAT Mathematics GRID-IN practice problems? 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 Mathematics GRID-IN practice problems contained within this Kindle eBook to enhance their candidacies for New York City’s specialized high schools.
