SHSAT Score Guide
The Specialized High Schools Admissions Test (SHSAT) is the single criterion for admission to eight of New York City’s nine specialized high schools, including Stuyvesant, Bronx Science, and Brooklyn Tech. Each year, cutoff scores shift based on test difficulty and the number of seats available, making accurate score prediction critical for students planning their applications.
SHSAT Score Scale
The SHSAT is scored on a scale of 200–800. Raw scores (number of correct answers in each section) are converted to scaled scores through a process called equating, which adjusts for slight differences in difficulty between test forms. The calculator above uses a linear approximation of this conversion (accurate within ±15 points).
Recent Approximate Cutoff Scores
Stuyvesant consistently has the highest cutoff (~560–590), Brooklyn Latin the lowest (~520–540). Cutoffs fluctuate 15–30 points year to year. A scaled score of 550+ is competitive for most specialized high schools; 580+ is competitive for Stuyvesant.
