Hunter College High School Test Tutoring
Hunter College High School offers what many New York City parents believe is the best public education in New York City. The Hunter Test is the only means of gaining admission to the school and 7th grade is the only entry point for the high school program.
Many families with “gifted and talented” children target Hunter years in advance, and hundreds of the city’s brightest 6th graders sit for the entrance exam each January. The competition is formidable, tension runs high, and only a small percentage of students are admitted based on how they stack up against their peers.
Here’s the good news: at Next Level Learning, we have developed our own practice Hunter Test materials derived from feedback from students who take the exam each year. Because there are limited practice materials available and no official published tests in circulation, the fact that Next Level’s simulated Hunter Test content is based on actual exam material is especially valuable. This is particularly true given the Hunter test’s recent change in math content: the test has moved from one proprietary math section to two that are based on the ISEE (Independent Schools Entrance Exam). Next Level has decades of experience with both the Hunter Test and the ISEE, making us the ideal choice to prepare your student for success.
Next Level’s Hunter Test instructors work in-depth with students on all sections of the exam, including ELA multiple choice, Quantitative Reasoning multiple choice, Math Achievement multiple choice, and the written response. Our instructors are also mindful of the role pressure plays in taking the Hunter Test, and they therefore place special emphasis on managing anxiety on test day.
For many students, the Hunter Test is the first standardized exam that may have a significant impact on their future, and anxiety can be a substantial factor. While Next Level instructors and learning specialists are experts at helping students contend with anxiety, the best way to mitigate anxiety is getting started on preparation at least six months prior to the test.
