The Test for Admission into Catholic High Schools or TACHS (pronounced tacks) is the admissions test for Catholic high schools in and around New York City.

First used in autumn 2004, the test allows schools to compare the academic abilities of students, including how a student performs under pressure.

Some schools use it to help determine which students receive a scholarship.

Algebra (from Arabic "al-jabr", literally meaning "reunion of broken parts") is one of the broad parts of mathematics, together with number theory, geometry and analysis.

In its most general form, algebra is the study of mathematical symbols and the rules for manipulating these symbols; it is a unifying thread of almost all of mathematics.

As such, it includes everything from elementary equation solving to the study of abstractions such as groups, rings, and fields.

The more basic parts of algebra are called elementary algebra; the more abstract parts are called abstract algebra or modern algebra.

Elementary algebra is generally considered to be essential for any study of mathematics, science, or engineering, as well as such applications as medicine and economics.

Abstract algebra is a major area in advanced mathematics, studied primarily by professional mathematicians.

The Specialized High Schools Admissions Test (SHSAT) is an examination administered to eighth and ninth grade students residing in New York City and used to determine admission to all but one of the city's nine Specialized High Schools.

In 2008, about 29,000 students took the test, and 6,108 students were offered admission to one of the high schools based on the results.

On average, 30,000 students take this exam annually.

The test is given each year in October and November, and students are informed of their results the following March.

Those who receive offers decide by the middle of March whether to attend the school the following September.

The test is independently produced and graded by American Guidance Service, a subsidiary of Pearson Education, under contract to the New York City Department of Education.

The SAT is a standardized test widely used for college admissions in the United States.

Introduced in 1926, its name and scoring have changed several times; originally called the Scholastic Aptitude Test, it was later called the Scholastic Assessment Test, then the SAT I: Reasoning Test, then the SAT Reasoning Test, and now, simply the SAT.

Test preparation (abbreviated test prep) or exam preparation is an educational course, tutoring service, educational material, or a learning tool designed to increase students' performance on standardized tests.

Examples of these tests include entrance examinations used for admissions to institutions of higher education, such as college (e.g. the SAT and ACT), business school (the GMAT), law school (the LSAT or LNAT), medical school (the MCAT), BMAT, UKCAT and GAMSAT and graduate school (the GRE) and qualifying examinations for admission to gifted education programs.
