The Monmouth County Vocational School District is a prestigious high-school district for Monmouth County residents. Five Career Academy schools require completion of the MCVSD® entrance exam.

We track progress in sessions and mock tests so you can see exactly where your student stands.
Many of our tutors attended MCVSD schools themselves and know the test inside and out.
Students find our program enjoyable and informative — not another source of stress.
Understanding the rubric is the first step to a competitive application.
Make sure that you and your child attend at least one open house offered by the district in the fall, as it is a required step when applying. You can visit more than one session, but you must attend the session for the school you are applying to.

While test scores are most important, it's imperative that your child's transcripts are strong. Many of our applicants already had 28–29 out of 30 points from transcripts alone. A minimum score of 89% (62–63 out of 70) on the test is recommended to be competitive. Information adapted from official source.

The competition is fierce (especially at High Tech High School), so the criteria for selection are demanding. We are very proud of our students who were accepted, and even those who have fallen short have found working with us very rewarding.
