High School Placement Test

List of 8 items.

• Can my student take the HSPT elsewhere? 

  Yes, your student is able to take the HSPT at another school. Your student will have to tell the school to send us their results. Something to keep in mind, if your student tests elsewhere, they are no longer eligible for our only merit based scholarship we offer. Secondly, students that test at our campus will have their applications reviewed first.  

• Can my student take the test on your campus even if we are not applying? 

  No, only students applying to our campus are eligible to take our HSPT Entrance Exam. 

• Do you have HSPT Tutors? 

  No, we do not have HSPT tutors but we do offer an HSPT Workshop in the Summer and Fall as well as a Winter HSPT Practice Test. Our HSPT Workshop does fill up quickly, it is highly recommended that you sign up as soon as possible once those dates are published. 

• How do we register for the HSPT Entrance Exam? 

  Your student is automatically enrolled for our HSPT once their application is submitted and paid for.  

• How long is the HSPT Workshop? 

  Our Summer HSPT Workshop is 5 days long with the practice test on Saturday. The Fall HSPT Workshop consists of 4 Mondays in October and November with the practice test during the winter.  We will send an email out to the families registered with more information closer to the workshop dates. 

• What is covered on the HSPT Exam? 

  The test covers Verbal, Quantitative, Reading, Mathematics, and Language skills. The students are tested on material they should know by the middle of their 8th-grade year.
