Hi.
Welcome to our home—kick off your shoes and relax.
Take a look around.
Look closer—notice something?
Correct, we don’t have any furniture.
What we do have is the pivotal tool your family needs to be fully prepared for the 2026 SHSAT and its new Computer-Adaptive Test (CAT) format.
It’s reserved for select families aiming at the very top.
And guess what? (Drumroll, please.)
We’ve got a feeling you’re one of those select families and you’re right where you belong.
Btw, if one of your trusted friends sent you here because we’re their overall pick or you’ve read about us somewhere else—you probably already know that we’re the real deal.
So feel free to move ahead and get Founders Access now.
If you’re new here, nice to meet you.
Lets chat below—we’ve got work to do.
Are you worried about the new Computer-Adaptive Test (CAT) format?
Many ambitious families are.
That's understandable considering the stakes—and the recent format change.
You want your child to walk into the SHSAT (CAT) with confidence and walk out knowing they gave their very best.
More than anything, you want their hard work to pay off with an acceptance letter from one of New York City’s top specialized high schools.
Quick question: Did you know that before a pilot flies a passenger through the sky, they’re mandated to log 50+ hours in a simulator?
They’ve faced turbulence.
They’ve faced surprise weather.
They’ve even faced “engine failure”—safely.
That’s the point of a simulator: real conditions, zero risk.
Pilots don’t train on paper—the stakes are too high.
Why should students preparing for the SHSAT (CAT) be any different?
For your child, this is a once-in-a-lifetime moment.
One chance to prove themselves.
One chance to open doors to the best schools.
One chance to shape their future.
Our SHSAT (CAT) Simulator makes sure it’s not their first flight.
It’s built for families that expect more than standard prep.
You’ve poured time, money, and love into your child’s future.
The last thing you want is for them to walk into test day blind—facing a format they’ve never seen before.
That’s not just unfair.
It’s avoidable.
Change is inevitable — and 2026 is no different.
The SHSAT is now a Computer-Adaptive Test (CAT).
Every answer changes the next question.
No two students see the same exam.
Timing and pressure are built into the format.
Unfortunately, old methods can’t recreate this.
We know how stressful the SHSAT journey can be for families.
The pressure is high, and the stakes are real.
And here’s the reality — if your child walks into test day unprepared for the 2026 SHSAT (CAT), they’ll be placed at a clear disadvantage.
That’s why we created the only true test simulator built to the exact specifications of the 2026 SHSAT (CAT).
Developed by educators, engineers, and data scientists, it ensures your child doesn’t just practice — they train under the same conditions they’ll face on test day.
Your child can’t afford to “practice” at 30,000 feet.
Mistakes there are catastrophic, unforgiving.
Mistakes in a simulator?
They’re lessons — and the next day always comes.
And yet… every year, 30,000 New York City students walk into the SHSAT as if it’s their very first flight.
They’ve read the textbooks.
They’ve answered a few practice questions.
Maybe they’ve even sat with a tutor.
But they’ve never actually sat in the cockpit.
Don’t risk your child’s future on outdated prep.
Because on test day, there are no do-overs.
One shot. One score. One future.
A lack of proper preparation could be the reason your child misses their dream school — forever.
That’s why we created the only platform designed to replicate the real adaptive format.
Inside the simulator, students learn how to:
Stay calm when the test “shifts” around them
Manage the clock under authentic SHSAT (CAT) timing pressure
Build confidence so test day feels familiar — not overwhelming
By the time they sit for the real thing, it won’t feel like their first flight.
It will feel like they’ve already flown this route dozens of times.
Because they have.
Founders Access is your first class boarding pass, get on now.
Take a quick look on the inside to see what we’ve built so far—features built only for the most ambitious families.
Parents, we know the journey you’re on.
The emotions are undeniable.
And you are an integral part of the process.
While your child trains in the Simulator, you sit in the co-pilot seat — complete with executive dashboards and priority insights designed exclusively for you.
Your advantages include:
A dedicated parent login with tailored dashboards
Priority email alerts for milestones and areas of concern
Printable progress reports for clarity and oversight
Detailed pacing and category analytics for precision
Peace of mind isn’t optional.
It’s the plan.
Here are a few FAQs.
Is this “test prep”?
No. This is a simulator—a system that mirrors the 2026 SHSAT (CAT) format (adaptive logic, pacing, scoring).Do you guarantee admission or score outcomes?
No. No one credible can. We guarantee format-true training, oversight for parents, and access until test day.How is this different from a tutor/class?
Tutors/classes teach content; they can’t replicate adaptive algorithms. The Simulator trains performance under the actual test conditions.Does my student get unlimited simulations?
Yes—all levels include unlimited full simulations.Can I upgrade later?
Yes. Upgrade Anytime Guarantee: your previous payment is credited in full.Are you affiliated with the NYC DOE?
No. We are an independent platform designed to mirror the 2026 SHSAT (CAT) format as closely as possible.Is this a physical simulator?
No — this is a digital web-based platform. We use the flight simulator analogy because it captures what makes our system unique: your student can experience the real SHSAT format safely, repeatedly, and adaptively — just like pilots do in simulators before flying.
Now, lets talk about Founders Access.
