FALL FINAL COUNTDOWN SESSION
(6 WEEKS)

SHSAT FINAL COUNTDOWN
TEST PREP COURSE

The Fall Final Countdown is a fast-paced, high-impact SHSAT course designed to help students finish strong and walk into test day with confidence. As students begin 8th grade, they’re ready to engage with more advanced content, timed practice, and strategy work tailored to the new digital, computer-adaptive SHSAT. This course is identical to the fall portion of our 13-week Comprehensive SHSAT program.

This course is an ideal follow-up for students who participated in our Winter Skill-Builder course, Spring Prep course, Summer Intensive Workshop, or a combination of those programs, building on the foundation established earlier in the year. Students continue to strengthen their test-taking skills through targeted instruction, strategy reinforcement, and timed drills designed to sharpen pacing and accuracy under pressure. Instruction focuses on helping students apply strategies confidently, adapt to the digital format, and approach the test with precision and endurance. Homework is assigned after each class to reinforce skills, strengthen retention, and build test-day stamina.

New students are certainly welcome, but we recommend a solid foundation in 7th grade SHSAT math and ELA content, as the course moves at a brisk pace and assumes familiarity with core concepts. This course is designed as the final phase of a longer SHSAT prep process, rather than a stand-alone program. If any major gaps in foundational knowledge are identified, we may recommend supplementing the course with one-on-one tutoring to ensure students can keep up and get the most out of the program.

The Fall Final Countdown includes:

• 12 hours of instruction (6 weekly sessions, 2 hours each)

• 2 full-length, proctored digital practice exams, featuring tech-enhanced items (TEIs)

• Detailed score reports and individualized feedback to track progress

As with all of our SHSAT offerings, we continue to adapt our curriculum to reflect updates from the DOE and ensure students are fully prepared for the current exam format.
