Long Island HSPT Tutoring FAQ
Sending your child to a private or parochial high school is a proactive way to try to make sure that education becomes and remains a priority. The best private schools and Catholic schools will use the High School Placement Test (HSPT) to make admissions decisions. Your son or daughter's test grades will also be a factor in any school funding or scholarship decisions. A tutor can try to help you and your student feel a lot better about the test, and more confident about the results. A professional HSPT tutor in Long Island, New York, is an excellent way to try to help your student prepare for the exam.
A tutor can try to help your youngster prepare for the test by reviewing the subject areas and administering practice exams. Our educational directors can help you locate an independent tutor in Long Island who is skilled at helping students get prepared for the HSPT. The test is divided into five sections, and your child's tutor can give equal awareness of all of the content areas, or give attention to a specific area of concern, such as language skills or math. Your eighth grader must be willing to answer nearly 300 questions, and all of those are multiple choice. An excellent tutor will teach your student strategies for time management, studying, and feeling prepared on the day of the exam.
Most students only take this test once, so it's difficult to know very well what to expect. When your child works with a tutor, they could do a comprehensive overview of the test's subject matter, or focus on the areas that would be the most challenging. Your child's tutor can come prepared with study strategies and practice questions. We could help you see an expert HSPT tutor in Long Island who can try to design a study plan suited to your student's individual needs.
There are optional sections incorporated into the HSPT, such as Catholic religion, science, and mechanical aptitude.
