The lowest you can get is about 510 but not less
I got into the Bronx High School of Science with a 652.
Most likely. The average cutoff score for Bronx, out of a hundred is 76.
the SHSAT is hard, but if you study long and hard, or enter a tutoring program such as Princeton Review, you should get in. I know I did.
theres no such thing as passing the shsat. Its about getting past the cut line of the school you want to go to, which, in this case is Brooklyn tech. The cutoff for 2009 was around 480, so if you received a score higher, then congratulations! The shsat has no biased entry system, so if you believe that you have been cheated of your entry, call the DOE.
You have to audition for LaGuardia to get on to it.
averages dont matter they only look at how well you score on the shsat
To take the SHSAT is free of charge.
the school gives you a paper telling you if you passed or failed early February
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.
Yes, but you don't have to attend school in NYC to be eligible.
You will need to take the SHSAT ( specialized high schools admission test) and pass the cut off score in order to get in. (: *Wishing good luck to the people who are taking those tests! ^-^
This is a tough question since none of the residents know how to grade a shsat test. the grading is weird and changes every year. I say you might have to get at the maximum 10-15 questions wrong to be offered a seat
