Students in the 8th grade are able to take the High School Placement Test, or HSPT. The exam is required by selective private high schools.

The exam is offered in January and has a score between 200 and 800 points. Though the test may be taken more than once, the HSPT accepts the lower of the scores as the official one, making it all the more important to aptly prepare for the exam ahead of time.
