This book contains 100 Editing Questions for New York City's newly revised Specialized High School Admissions Test (SHSAT). In January 2017, the board of education announced drastic changes to the SHSAT. Although the SHSAT will continue to be the sole criteria for entry into the city’s specialized high schools, these changes are reflective of an effort to align the test more closely with the common core. The new test will eliminate questions in scrambled paragraphs and logic reasoning that were previously on the SHSAT but not seen as a part of middle school curriculum. The new exam will instead have 20 editing questions that aim to test students’ grammar and composition skills. www.aplusacademy.com
