What's New in SHSAT Prep
1.2
September 17, 2026
What's New in 1.2 A quality pass on practice tests: fairer answer choices, more of our hardest-rated reading, and corrected questions. • On practice tests the correct answer no longer favors the middle of the choice list, so the position of a choice gives nothing away • Practice tests now draw more often from the reading sets we rate hardest, closer to the mix of the real test • Four reading passage sets rebuilt after review: weaker questions retired and better ones put in their place • Exponents now display properly everywhere — 5¹ and 2¹⁰ rather than 5^1 and 2^10 • Further corrections to questions and explanations across the question bank Your saved progress and results are unchanged.
