How it works

Take a test. See where you stand. Fix what it found.

  1. Take a full practice test.

    Questions get harder or easier based on your answers, like the adaptive SHSAT. The highlighter, answer eliminator, notepad and magnifier are there when you need them.

  2. See where you stand.

    A Mokello Practice Score for Math and ELA, plus a review of every question with explanations.

  3. Work on what it found.

    Practice the topics you missed, one at a time, at your own pace. Then take another test and watch the score move.

For parents

You can’t sit next to them during the test. You can see how they’re doing before it.

One parent account covers up to four students. Each test is saved to the right child, with every score, every answer and a progress chart over time. You’ll know whether practice is working without having to ask.

Before you begin
Is it free?

Yes. The full adaptive practice test and topic practice are free. Mokello Premium adds Learn, for studying one skill at a time.

Is the SHSAT adaptive?

Yes. NYC Public Schools moved the SHSAT to computer-adaptive testing beginning with the fall 2026 test, for students seeking admission in fall 2027. Question difficulty adjusts based on a student’s responses. See NYCPS’s official SHSAT information for the exam format and current guidance.

Is this the official SHSAT?

No. Mokello is independent and is not affiliated with NYC Public Schools. It’s practice for the adaptive format, so the real test feels familiar.

What does my score mean?

The Mokello Practice Score helps you compare your performance within Mokello. It is not an official SHSAT score or an admissions prediction. The results page explains the scoring model and how to read your results.

How does Mokello’s adaptive test work?

Question difficulty adjusts based on your answers so far. Math questions and ELA passage sets are selected as you go, giving you a challenge that responds to your performance. The full test has 50 ELA and 50 Math questions, and you choose which section to start with.

Can I practice one topic at a time?

Yes. Choose an ELA or Math topic and a question count, then work through a random subset at your own pace. Answers and explanations are available as you go. Keep the question order fixed or turn on Adaptive Practice.

Who is Mokello for?

Students preparing for the SHSAT, from grade six onward, and the parents and tutors helping them prepare. Start with a full test to see how you do across both sections, or build confidence with one topic at a time.

How long should I set aside?

The full adaptive test gives you 180 minutes for 100 questions. For a shorter session, choose topic practice and work on a specific skill.

Test day happens once.Practice tests don’t have to.
