TACHS Practice Tests & Test Prep by Exam Edge

What are TACHS Tests?

TACHS stands for Test for Admissions into Catholic High Schools. It’s used by schools in the Archdiocese of New York, Rockville Center, and Brooklyn and Queens. All eighth graders hoping to enroll in area Catholic high schools must take the TACHS test as part of the admissions process. Offered annually each November, the exam covers four main content areas: math, reading, language, and abilities. TACHS exam prep should begin well in advance of the November test date.

Who Should Take TACHS Tests?

Only rising ninth graders should take the TACHS test – if they plan to attend a Catholic high school, of course. Students hoping to transfer to a Catholic high school as a sophomore, junior, or senior do not need to take the TACHS. It’s used solely as an admissions tool for incoming first-year high school students. Not sure whether or not you should take the TACHS? Consult with your school guidance counselor before registering for this challenging exam.

Passing Scores on TACHS Tests

Believe it or not, there’s no passing or failing the TACHS test. Instead, each Catholic high school sets its own standard TACHS score required for admission. You’ll have the option to send your scores to up to three different schools. Check with your preferred Catholic high school for the score you’ll need to aim for when taking the TACHS. A TACHS practice test is an excellent way to determine how hard you’ll need to study to get into your dream school.

How to Prepare for Your TACHS Test

Admissions exams can be intimidating, especially if you’ve never sat for one before. Thankfully, TACHS practice tests offer you a preview of what to expect on the day of the real exam. Research has repeatedly demonstrated the power of practice testing – it requires you to think in the same way you’ll need to pass on test day. Just familiarizing yourself with the material and structure of the test can be incredibly helpful.

Exam Edge® offers 20 different TACHS practice exams, each with up to 100 TACHS exam sample questions. In-depth answer explanations give you the chance to create a customized TACHS exam score report to refer back to as you prepare.
