Private Tutoring Near You
Receive personally tailored HSPT lessons from exceptional tutors in a one-on-one setting. We help you connect with the best tutor for your particular needs while offering flexible scheduling to fit your busy life.The HSPT is the Scholastic Testing Service High School Placement Test, and it is administered to rising ninth graders who are seeking to be admitted to specific Catholic high schools. Students' test results are used to place applicants, determine scholarship awards, and make admission decisions. Because a lot of colleges often give admission preference to applicants who attended private schools, the score your child receives on the HSPT can have a major impact on their future in the long-term. If your student is preparing for the HSPT, Varsity Tutors' educational directors can assist you in finding an experienced tutor in Davis.
Lasting 2 hours and 20 minutes, the HSPT contains 300 multiple-choice questions that are divided into five sections: Language, Mathematics, Reading, Quantitative Skills, and Verbal Skills. Schools are also provided a choice of including one optional test in Catholic Religion, Science, or Mechanical Aptitude, but these sections are not included in the percentile rating. Each question that your child answers correctly is worth one point, and there is no deduction or penalty for wrong answers. Retaking the exam is strongly discouraged, because the lowest score received is the one that will get reported. Therefore, it is important for your child to do their very best the first time they attempt the HSPT. Working one-on-one with an HSPT tutor in Davis, CA, can make studying easier.
