I'm a big Boston Celtics fan and I speak three languages. I can get you the test results you need to succeed because I went through the exams myself and performed well. The first time I took the SAT I actually wasn't satisfied with my score, so I spent 2 months working hard to get my score to where I wanted it to be. The second time I took the exam I saw...... Patience. Encouragement. Attitude....

How can a tutor help your child master the HSPT?
The High School Placement Test, or HSPT, is commonly administered by Catholic high schools. Many of these schools heavily weigh the scores of this exam when considering students' applications. The HSPT examines students' abilities in areas such as math, language, and reading. If your student is hoping to get into a Catholic high school soon, it is vital for them to do well on the HSPT. A skilled professional tutor can help your child work toward their goals. Varsity Tutors can help you connect with Boston, Massachusetts, HSPT tutoring today.
The HSPT consists of about 300 questions and your child will be given two and a half hours to complete it. The exam is only given two times a year, in the fall and in the spring, so you want to make sure that your child is ready when the time comes to take the exam. If your child struggles with math concepts that are on the test, including algebra, geometry, and problem-solving, a private HSPT tutor can help them prepare. They will also be tested on things such as reading comprehension, logic, Catholic religion, and spelling. You can help them prepare by finding a tutor to work with them one-on-one. The educational directors at Varsity Tutors are available to help you find Boston HSPT tutors today.
