You have to audition for LaGuardia to get on to it.
No. LaGuardia is the only one of the Specialized High Schools that doesn't base admission on the SHSAT score. Admission to LaGuardia requires an audition and a review of student records.
To take the SHSAT is free of charge.
When varies every year, but that information should come from your high school counselor at school, so do not worry. As for where, it depends on where you live. For example, if you live in Queens, you should be taking it at Long Island High School. Manhattan students take it at Stuyvesant High School. However, please do confirm all information with your guidance counselor. If you don't ask to apply for the SHSAT with your counselor, hell will break loose. Hope that helps!
Yes, but you don't have to attend school in NYC to be eligible.

As many as you can. There is no limit, but you want to get as many acceptances as possible so that you have many options.
The Specialized High School Admission Test(SHSAT) can only be taken by current eighth graders who reside in New York City to have admission to take classes in one of the nine New York Specialized High Schools. The SHSAT consists of 5 Scrambled Paragraphs which are worth 2 points each, 10 logical reasoning questions, 30 reading comprehension questions(5 reading passages with 6 questions each), and 50 math questions. All questions are multiple choice and there are no penalty for wrong answers.
The DOE has made it clear starting from 2012, that all SHSAT results will be handed to the student on February 28, 2012. Your schools will be the first to receive the results.
JFK or LaGuardia
Assuming that you mean LaGuardia Airport in Queens, New York and not LaGuardia, Spain, it takes one hour and nine minutes to drive to Newark, New Jersey.
