How can a tutor help your child master the HSPT?
The High School Placement Test, or HSPT, is a comprehensive exam given by private schools to children in eighth grade. This test is utilized by private high schools as the basis for enrollment decisions. Students who score well on this exam demonstrate educational aptitude. The test is around 300 questions and lasts approximately two and a half hours. The educational directors at Varsity Tutors can help you find a qualified, professional HSPT tutor in Glenview for your eighth grader.
The HSPT is given twice annually, in the spring and fall. The final, scaled score is between 200-800 points, with each question worth one point. There is no penalty for answering questions wrong on the test. There are several different versions of this exam. This is one of the reasons it is important to arrange for a very skilled tutor for your child. A tutor who is experienced in HSPT prep will be able to provide in-depth and well-rounded instruction to cover all of the potential questions on the test.
