SHSAT results usually come out in early March , about four months after you take the test in the fall, and for this year the NYC DOE has scheduled offer release for Thursday, March 5, 2026, after 3 PM.

🕒 Typical SHSAT Results Timeline

  • The SHSAT is usually given in late October or early November.
  • Results and high school offers are typically released in early March of the following year.
  • Recent example dates:
    • March 9, 2023
    • March 7, 2024

These patterns are why many families now expect results in the first week of March.

This Year’s Official Date (2025–26 Cycle)

  • The NYC DOE has announced “High School Offer Release: Thursday, March 5, 2026, after 3 PM” on its specialized high schools admissions page.
  • That offer release includes SHSAT results and your specialized high school match shown in MySchools.

In other words, if you took the SHSAT this cycle, you should be able to see your score and offer after 3 PM on March 5, 2026 in MySchools.

How and Where You’ll See Results

  • Results are usually shared:
    • Through your school , and
    • In your MySchools account (score + offer in one place).
  • Online, you log into MySchools and look for your high school offer letter , which includes your SHSAT score and specialized placement.

From forum discussions, students also report that the system can be slow or glitchy right after results go live because everyone is logging in at once.

What Time of Day? (Based on Recent Years)

Officially, DOE says after school hours , but doesn’t promise an exact minute.

From recent community chatter:

  • Some students recall results appearing around 3–4 PM , with one person mentioning about 3:13 PM last year.
  • Another tip from forums: check in the afternoon and early evening , and don’t panic if it’s not there right at 3:00.

Think of it as a window rather than a precise drop-time.
