There is no pre-determined passing score for the Specialized High School Admissions Test (SHSAT). However, looking at past cutoff scores can give you an idea of what to aim for. Your SHSAT results will determine which of New York's specialized high schools you can enter into.

​

Admissions to these schools are based on SHSAT scores and how you rank compared to other test-takers. Higher scores increase your chances of getting into the specialized high school you prefer.
