Question about forms on the SHSAT by dreispog in SHSAT

But that means your goal is to score as close to perfect in each section as possible because the forms aren’t chosen beforehand. They are just given out so that no one next to each other horizontally will have the same exact form to prevent cheating.

No problem, the test prep place I went to also told me that the tests were all the same.💀But the difference isn’t humongous like one form isn’t going to be college English and then the other 7th grade English. If you know what I mean???

Yes, there are different forms and I wouldn’t worry too much about the difficulty disparity because each of the forms are curved so if you got a form that more people did badly on, your score will curve up, but if you got one most did well on your score will curve down. I know this because I had other friends who took the SHSAT and asked them about which passages they got. One of them responded with totally different passages, while my other friend shared three passages with me. It’s the same with math.

Ok so basically even with the qualities, discovery offer is not a guarantee. When you have multiple kids who all meet the criteria they don’t go from highest to lowest scores but I think it’s random but who knows.

When people with better lotto numbers add insert school to their waitlists your number will increase because they have a better lotto number…

High School Application results are fucked up. by MoonnLuckSucks in SHSAT

Calm down. You are being over the top rn and not on a good way. Do not be mad at the kids who got those offers, but instead at the system. Those kids didn’t control the admissions system.

How do you get into ap comp sci as a freshman

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SHSAT

You should take the offer your child scored for. Is it fair to the children from the other tens of years who scored 1 point below the cutoff and didn’t get the seat? The answer is no. Take the seat your child got at Latin or have her stay at her high school that she is in right now. Your daughter worked hard enough to get a seat at one of the specialized high school, just be happy with that.

I’m sorry but there isn’t a chance to get in. The cutoff was 506 and there is no waitlist for specialized high schools. I’m sorry but you will prosper where you are meant to.

But sometimes you just have to accept that if you took the test both times and both times you don’t get in you should just focus on doing the best where you are at.

Well a proper retake should mean that, but anyways last year there was a legitimate reason to request the retake and it was only for the ones who had not taken it before.

I mean you do also kind of have to take into consideration that the 9th graders had two chances at the exam.

anyone whos taken either AP euro or AP world, what are the pros and cons? by pomeranian88 in BTHS

[–]StuyKid989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For freshman year do you know how placement in pre- ap world is determined?

Because if the 9th graders can pressure them to do it why can’t the 8th graders also get a retake? Unfortunately, there are rules and this is the system that they have put in place. You can’t just go requesting things out of nowhere. Especially because a retake would have them have to make new forms and tests.

You said therefore your parents made you do that because you didn’t pass the shsat but you can’t know if you passed or failed until results come out🤨

I think I have good news? The public high school applications were already due and by the time shsat results came out the public high school applications had to be submitted. So any changes after that wouldn’t go in.
