Tips
Getting ready for Grade 8
- Practice the three Ability tests back to back: each has its own clock, and you cannot go back once one ends.
- In paper folding, follow the folds backward: each unfold doubles the holes, mirrored across the fold.
- In Written Expression, read the whole paragraph first: the best change has to fit the sentences around it.
- Sit every test once on its full clock before test day.
TACHS (Test for Admission into Catholic High Schools) is given by Riverside Insights for Catholic high schools in New York City and on Long Island.

Our TACHS-style practice questions are written by us in the style of the published TACHS question types; they are not real TACHS questions, and a practice score is not a TACHS score.
