SHSAT score calculator: turn a raw score into an estimated composite
Enter how many ELA and math questions were answered correctly on a full-length practice paper, and get an estimated section split and composite out of 700 — with the uncertainty stated, and last cycle's published cutoffs beside it. No account needed.
Two things to know before you read the number
- The conversion curve is our estimate, built from published score and admissions data. The DOE does not publish the official table, and it changes every year — no calculator anywhere has the real one.
- Counting right answers is how FIXED papers are scored. The official Fall 2026 exam is computer-adaptive, where which questions a student saw also matters — so use this to read practice results, not to predict the real exam's arithmetic.
Estimated ELA
288 / 350
Estimated math
288 / 350
Estimated composite
576 / 700
Read it as a band of roughly ±25 points, not a point — one paper is one sample of one day.
Against last cycle's published cutoffs
These are the 2026 Admissions figures — the exam sat in Fall 2025, final and published. The exam your child is preparing for is 2027 Admissions, and its cutoffs do not exist yet — so this comparison reads history, not a threshold to clear.
| School | 2026 cutoff | Your estimate |
|---|---|---|
| Stuyvesant | 561 | On track |
| HSMSE | 539 | Likely |
| Queens Science | 531 | Likely |
| Bronx Science | 525 | Likely |
| Staten Island Tech | 517 | Likely |
| HS American Studies | 507 | Likely |
| Brooklyn Tech | 506 | Likely |
| Brooklyn Latin | 495 | Likely |

No raw score to put in yet?
A calculator is only as honest as the paper behind it. A free account gets you both real inputs: a 10-minute, 20-question diagnostic, and one full sitting of a fixed 100-question mock exam, timed at the real pacing and scored for you.

The official Fall 2026 SHSAT will be computer-adaptive. SHSATus currently provides fixed-form digital practice based on DOE-published content areas and question types. It does not reproduce the DOE's adaptive item-selection or scoring algorithm.
