Check SHSAT accommodations before test day
Coordinate with the school counselor.
NYCPS describes universal accessibility features and separate eligibility-based accommodations.
Verify the approved arrangements on your ticket with the counselor, including timing and language supports. Familiarize yourself with each available digital tool.
The guide gives 180 minutes for standard administration and 360 minutes for approved extended time, with breaks in the extended-time schedule after 180 minutes and again after a further 90 minutes. Do not assume a local practice timer certifies your accommodation.
Eligible English Language Learners can use translated directions and glossary supports as described by NYCPS. Coordinate eligibility and the ticket before the test, and practice with the relevant official language link. Individual IEP or 504 arrangements require school confirmation.
