This course is intended for 7th graders planning to sit for the 2023 SHSAT test dates.

This past year, we saw that 8th graders (who took the 2022 SHSAT) were underperforming compared to students in previous cohorts (those who took earlier SHSATs). This is the result of pandemic-related learning losses that have significantly reduced the reading and mathematics achievement levels of students across the city.

Private tutoring is always available for students who wish to supplement their in-class learning. Email [email protected] to get started.

Applications (Spring 7th Grade - 8 Classes + 2 Practice Tests)

• gives students the opportunity to apply the fundamentals to test-like questions and scenarios
• reinforces concepts in 7th grade common core curriculum
• introduces students to the test-taking strategies needed for success on the test
• includes a diagnostic and two practice tests: a start-of-semester and end-of-semester practice test

Summer Practice (Summer between 7th and 8th Grade - 4 Practice Tests)

• 4 realistic, live-proctored practice tests
• each test includes a full score report, complete with a scaled score estimate and answer key
• [optional add on with additional tuition] join our summer Practice Test Workshop for review sessions

Reinforcement (Fall 8th Grade - 6 Classes + 3 Practice Tests)

• provides students the opportunity to build good test-taking habits
• reinforces the concepts covered in Applications
• includes three practice tests to help build confidence through experience

Classes are held in-person, after school, at Baruch and online via Zoom

• Subject to minimum enrollment requirements and DOE permits

Tests are administered online via Zoom

• Please see the course calendar linked here: SHSAT 2023 for Baruch and SHSAT 2023 Baruch Online 

A strong foundation in 6th and 7th grade math is required for this program.

Please order this 6th grade workbook [linked] and this 7th grade workbook [linked] to ensure that your child is ready. If students do not reach all of the following benchmarks, they may find the Applications semester to be very challenging and may need additional support.

6th Grade Workbook Benchmarks

This workbook linked above contains 7 chapters. Each chapter begins with a Pretest. Without the use of a calculator, your child should aim to score

• at least 95% on the Pretests for Chapters 1-5,
• at least 80% on the Chapter 6 Pretest,
• at least 60% on the Chapter 7 Pretest, and
• at least 90% on the Final Test (pg. 143)

7th Grade Workbook Benchmarks

This workbook linked above contains 7 chapters. Each chapter begins with a Pretest. Without the use of a calculator, your child should aim to score

• at least 90% on the Pretests for Chapters 1-4,
• at least 70% on the Chapter 5 Pretest,
• at least 80% on the Chapter 6 Pretest,
• at least 90% on the Chapter 7 Pretest, and
• at least 85% on the Final Test (pg. 142)

If your child reaches these benchmarks, terrific! If they do not reach these benchmarks, your child should

• complete any necessary lessons within that chapter to ensure they have sufficient knowledge of every topic;
• review tutorials at Khan Academy for topics requiring additional support (or reach out to us for one-on-one support);
• take the Posttest at the end of the associated chapter to see if they can reach the above benchmarks.

Tuition includes one copy of all materials (replacement copies available at $100/copy). Students will receive:

• Original and proprietary materials only available to students in our classes
  
  • 10-Session SHSAT Coursebook (Applications semester)
  • 9-Session SHSAT Coursebook (Reinforcement semester)
• 4 officially released, DOE practice tests (Summer Practice semester)
• Our best-selling workbook NYC SHSAT: 1200+ Practice Questions 
  • Includes 2 extra Practice Tests not used in class!
• Virtual classroom portal access, where students and parents can:
  • watch video recordings of class lessons
  • submit homework
  • view progress
  • see homework results
  • review detailed practice test score reports
  • play proctoring videos for independent testing

• Safety Requirements
  • We require all of our staff to be fully vaccinated, and will comply with then-applicable rules and regulations issued by valid governing authorities regarding staff vaccination requirements.
  • We will comply with and enforce then-applicable rules and regulations issued by valid governing authorities regarding student vaccination requirements.
  • We will comply with and enforce then-applicable rules and regulations issued by valid governing authorities regarding face coverings. As of this writing, all program staff and participants must wear appropriate face coverings. Snacks and beverages may not be consumed in classrooms or other learning settings.
  • We expect all families to consider their community and adhere to guidelines enforced by the NYC Department of Education (DOE), The NYC Department of Health (DOH), the administration of Baruch, and by other governing agencies. This includes providing our team with information, like proof of vaccination status, or outcomes from COVID-19 test results, as requested, so that we may fulfill our related legal obligations.
• Non-compliance
  • If your family is unable to comply with these requirements, your student's enrollment in this program may be terminated. At our sole discretion, you may be offered a seat in one-of our synchronous online programs (if there’s space; addition tuition applies), or your enrollment may be changed into an on-demand, asynchronous format.
  • No credits or other concessions will be issued for non-compliance.
• Contingencies
  • If a governing authority (DOE, DOH, Baruch administration, etc.) no longer permits us to operate on school property, the program will be transitioned to an online format until we receive permission to resume in-person programming on school property. No credits will be applied in this event.
  • If a student is precluded from attending school, that student is also precluded from attending that day’s programming. In that event, we will provide a complementary video recording of that class as a make-up class for the student to complete on their own. If a student isn't able to attend a practice test, we will instead provide access to our click-and-play proctoring video for the student to complete the practice test on their own. No credits will be applied in this event.
  • If our staff are unable to host in-person programming, we will inform families as soon as we are aware of the situation and will attempt to secure substitute staffing. If we are not able to secure substitute staffing, the program will be moved online. We will attempt to host the online program on the same day and time as the in-person program, but cannot guarantee that the day and time of an online program would be the same as the in-person program. In this event, we will also issue credits equal to the prorated difference between an online and in-person program, which will be valid through December 31 of this year and can be used toward other programming, like private tutoring, or summer SHSAT enrichment. The maximum credit will not exceed $200, the full tuition difference between an in-person program and an online version of this program.
