SHSAT Edge

A live SHSAT course built for a one-shot test.

The SHSAT is given once a year in November, and the current version rewards more than content knowledge alone. The SHSAT Edge is built around the KRE framework: knowledge, recognition, and execution, with instruction shaped around the current digital, computer-adaptive format. Enrollment fills before the test window.
