What You Need to Know about TACHS Test Prep

If you are a parent interested in taking your child to a Catholic high school, you should be prepared to have them take the Test for Admission into Catholic High Schools well known as TACHS. TACHS is most common in the Diocese of Queens and Brooklyn and the Archdiocese of New York. Now that you know what TACHS is, what are the basics?

The TACHS test consists of approximately 200 multiple choice questions that are divided into four different sections:

Mathematics (40 minutes)
The math section has two parts – concepts, problem-solving, data interpretation that takes 33 minutes and estimation questions that take seven minutes.

Reading (35 minutes)

Similar to the math section, this section has two parts as well which include reading comprehension and vocabulary.

Abilities (32 minutes)

 

This section is subdivided into two parts with the first one being similarities and exchanges and the second one being the abstract reasoning.

Language (30 minutes)

First part has capitalization, spelling, expression/usage and punctuation while the second part is mainly paragraphs.

The number one worry for most families and students is usually on how important it is to pass the TACHS test. Different schools look for different scores which vary from one school to the other. A school that is competitive will, of course, learn more about your scores. Besides, students who have good academic performance coupled with a high score in the TACHS test may be able to get a scholarship.

TACHS are usually done once a year in November on a date set by the school. As such, ensure you check with the relevant schools on the exact dates.

​

At Skies the Limit Tutoring Center it is our goal that our families know they made the best decision ever to put their children's academic success and self-esteem into our hands.
