Choosing the right level of oversight matters more than choosing a price.

Each tier exists to answer a different question:

  • Am I on track?

  • Why is performance changing?

  • What is the most likely outcome if nothing changes?

What follows is not just a list of features.

It is a breakdown of decision support.

All students use the same adaptive measurement engine.

What changes across tiers is:

  • How deeply performance is analyzed

  • How quickly issues are identified

  • How much interpretation and intervention is applied

More oversight does not mean “more work.”

It means fewer blind spots.

A Note On Pricing

Both tiers operate within the same SHSAT (CAT) environment.

They are not priced based on access time or content volume.

The difference is not exposure—it is what the system can responsibly conclude.

  • Oversight Advantage enables interpretation of performance trends but does not fully resolve late-exam degradation or top-percentile breakpoints.

  • Global Elite is designed to minimize remaining uncertainty where margins are thin and outcomes hinge on consistency under stress.

There is no incorrect tier—only different levels of decision risk.

About Capacity Limits

Seat limits are not a marketing tactic.

Adaptive systems require statistical balance to remain predictive.

When capacity exceeds that balance, signal quality degrades.

For that reason:

  • Each level has a fixed maximum enrollment

  • Once filled, access closes until capacity reopens

This protects every enrolled student.

Historical Cutoff Intensity (Read Carefully)

The chart below shows published SHSAT cutoff ranges over past admissions cycles.

These figures provide historical context only; they do not represent guarantees, targets, or required scores.

A tier indicates the level of uncertainty the system can resolve relative to historical cutoff volatility—it does not assign or promise outcomes.

Historical Cutoff Intensity ('21-'24)

Averages: Stuyvesant (563), Bronx Science (526), Staten Island Tech (520.5), HSMSE (521), HSAS @ Lehman (517.25), Queens Science @ York (515), Brooklyn Tech (502.75), Brooklyn Latin (498). Historical SHSAT cutoffs vary not only in score level, but in margin sensitivity and year-to-year volatility. At the most compressed top-percentile thresholds—where late-exam stability and fatigue effects materially influence outcomes—maximum diagnostic resolution is required. At high but less extreme cutoffs, behavioral interpretation and volatility analysis are sufficient to support confident decisions.

PRE-ENROLLMENT TECHNICAL BRIEFING: Decision Support for Tier Allocation

For families who want an objective baseline before selecting a measurement tier, a structured pre-enrollment technical briefing is available.

The briefing explains how the 2026 SHSAT (CAT) adaptive algorithm evaluates performance and why different levels of diagnostic oversight are required to resolve different classes of uncertainty. Its sole purpose is to ensure accurate tier allocation—not preparation, instruction, or enrollment persuasion.

What the Briefing Covers

The briefing is delivered as a restricted, web-based technical document and addresses:

  • The Shift to Adaptive Measurement (IRT)
    How real-time ability estimates are recalculated and why peak scores alone do not indicate readiness without stability analysis.

  • Performance Volatility and Durability Signals
    An explanation of pacing recovery, progress velocity, and difficulty-curve interaction as determinants of reliable outcomes.

  • Structural Limits of Static Preparation
    Why fixed-form and paper-based prep fail to surface adaptive failure modes present in the SHSAT-CAT environment.

  • Diagnostic Depth Requirements
    How advanced signals—such as stability indices and fatigue modeling—are used to reduce uncertainty at narrow percentile cutoffs.

After reviewing the briefing, families return to the enrollment page with clarity on which tier is structurally appropriate given their goals and tolerance for performance volatility.

Technical Allocation

$1,525 — Credit-Eligible

The briefing fee is fully creditable toward enrollment within the applicable priority window. It does not modify tier pricing, capacity, or access rules.

Complimentary Priority Seat Reservation

To prevent capacity loss while families review the technical material, each briefing allocation includes a temporary priority seat reservation:

  • Global Elite: 96-hour priority window

  • Oversight Advantage: 72-hour priority window

Capacity is strictly capped at 750 / 1,000 seats respectively.

If enrollment is finalized within the window, the $1,525 allocation is applied in full.

If the window expires, the seat is released and the briefing remains a completed technical access (non-transferable, non-creditable toward future enrollment).
