Why Test Prep Matters

Success comes not only from academic knowledge, but also from strategy, practice, and confidence.

​

​

SHSAT (Specialized High Schools Admissions Test)

The SHSAT is the key to gaining admission into NYC’s elite specialized high schools, including Stuyvesant, Bronx Science, and Brooklyn Tech. With thousands of students competing for limited seats, preparation makes all the difference. Our SHSAT prep builds mastery in advanced math, critical reading, and problem-solving, while teaching time-saving strategies so students can confidently handle the test’s rigor and pace.

​

​

Hunter College High School Exam

The Hunter exam is one of the most competitive middle and high school entrance exams in the country. It requires exceptional reading comprehension, essay writing, and math reasoning—often at levels above grade expectations. At Go Learn Pods, we strengthen these core skills while guiding students on how to approach the exam’s unique structure, ensuring they are ready to stand out.

 

​

ISEE (Independent School Entrance Exam)

Private and independent schools often require the ISEE, which measures verbal, quantitative, reading, and math achievement. Because the test is adaptive by level, students need exposure to the question styles and pacing in advance. Our ISEE prep focuses on both skill development and test familiarity so students feel prepared for every section, from verbal reasoning to essay writing.

​

​

Private School Exams

Beyond the SHSAT, Hunter, and ISEE, many private schools design their own admissions exams or require writing samples and interviews. Go Learn Pods provides individualized support that equips students for the full admissions process—academic preparation, essay coaching, and confidence-building—so they present their very best selves to competitive schools.
