Starting with the fall 2025 administration, the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test (SHSAT) will move to a digital model. This computer-based assessment will immediately embed supports for English Language Learners (ELLs) and students with disabilities and will include test questions that vary from the current multiple-choice and grid-in question types. In 2026, the exam will transition to a computer-adaptive test (CAT), which will tailor the questions that students receive based on their ongoing performance.  This page includes updates regarding this transition and general information to help families be better informed and prepared for the exam.  **Translated versions of this information**
