Test for Admission to a Catholic High School

The Archdiocese of New York (seven counties), the Diocese of Brooklyn (two counties), and the Diocese of Rockville Centre (two counties) generally require the test offered on the website https://tachsinfo.com/

----

The test is taken by computer at home. It costs $71. The student selects three high schools to which the testing company will send results. The test is apparently scheduled for early November, 2023. There must be some way the downloaded program knows that is is the registered eighth grade student and not a learned grandma answering the test questions.

The abbreviated name for the test is TACHS. Much more information is at https://tachsinfo.com/

This entrance exam now includes Catholic High Schools on Long Island, twelve counties in total:

Brooklyn,  Bronx, Manhattan, Staten Island, Queens, Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess, Rockland, and Orange. There are no Catholic high schools in Sullivan or Ulster counties. I know of one Catholic High School that requires a separate exam, namely all-boys Regis High School in Manhattan. Because the school listings are on landscape pages, I suggest that you print the lists of the counties that interest you.

Some important information is lacking from the Rockville Centre page: the Approximate Admissions number and tuition data. Also, all the charts refer to the wrong year, 2020, not 2021.
