What NYC families and students are saying

“The Parent Portal is a game-changer. I can see exactly which topics my son is struggling with and how much time he is spending on practice. It is like having a tutor's progress report without the $200/hour price tag.”

“We use SHS Prep alongside our daughter's tutor and it fills in the gaps perfectly. She practices on her own between sessions and the analytics show her tutor exactly what to focus on next. Way more efficient than just doing worksheets.”

“Finally a platform that has the new digital question types. My son was using prep books and had never even seen a drag-and-drop question. Now he practices exactly how the real test works.”

“We were looking at $3,000 for a prep center and SHS Prep gave us more for a fraction of the cost. The mock exams alone were worth it. By October my daughter had taken 6 full mocks under real conditions.”

“The streak system kept my son coming back. He is not a kid who would normally sit down to study on his own, but the daily practice loop plus the analytics made it click. The whole platform feels like it was designed for a kid's attention span.”

“I love that I can see his progress without having to ask. The Parent Portal sends a weekly digest that tells me what he worked on, what he missed, and what the platform recommends next. I do not have to hover.”

“I used to carry around three different prep books. Now I just open my laptop and everything is there: practice questions, mock exams, explanations. Way better than flipping through pages.”

“The mock exams are the best part. They feel exactly like the real test with the timer and everything. I use it alongside my tutor. She can see my analytics and knows exactly what I need help with.”

“I did not even know what a grid-in question was until I found SHS Prep. The digital question types are completely different from what is in the prep books. This is the only place that actually has them.”

“Ten minutes a day is all I needed. I started in June, took my first mock exam in August, and by October I had a real plan. The Skills Snapshot after every mock told me exactly what to work on next.”

“I liked that I did not have to ask my parents for help. The explanations are clear and the analytics tell me what I am bad at. I just drill those things and watch my mock scores go up.”

“The digital formats were the scariest part of the test for me. After a few weeks of the dedicated drill section, they felt normal. By test day I was not thinking about the tools at all.”
