Although the SHSAT has evolved over the years, its DNA remains the same. As a result, students preparing for the exam have access to 22 full tests, a superb resource for preparation. For your convenience, we have compiled all 22 tests here, along with notes about how they should be used.
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.
Without further adieu: here is a complete list of released SHSAT tests.

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.
