Below is a directory of all the available official SHSAT practice tests.
These released tests represent the highest quality study material available. Take pains to use them carefully. When paired with a good SHSAT textbook, students should have more than enough material to take them from here until test day.
If your son or daughter is working with a tutor, consult with them about if and when to use this material.

These 6 early tests included the now obsolete scrambled paragraphs and logical reasoning sections, which have been omitted for your convenience. These tests use a 5 answer multiple choice format (versus 4 on the newer tests). We do not view this as problematic. If students can choose between 5 answers, they can certainly manage 4. Older tests are shorter than the current test. Students wishing to use these as mock exams should allot 120 minutes.
