Saturday the 7th in Brooklyn/Queens and Rockville Centre. Registration closes October 28, 2026.
What Riverside Assessments publishes, and what it does not
Saying we do not know, and here is who does not publish it
is the most credible thing a page in this market can do.
- How many questions the paper has
- How long you get for any of it
- How a raw score becomes the number a school sees
- How many children sit it each year
- Any practice test: “No online practice test is available.”
- 4 subtests: Reading, Written Expression, Mathematics, Ability
- The dates, and the registration deadline
- Five answers in Ability, four everywhere else
- Letters run A–E on odd questions and J–N on even ones
- 210 feeder schools and 62 high schools

The four subtests, and what is here for each
Question counts are ours, not the exam’s — Riverside Assessments publishes none. Half of each bank is held back for the mock paper, which leaves 1,556 to practise on.
