Manhattan HSPT Tutoring FAQ
Students aiming for private school do not avoid the academic challenges their public counterparts face. Your child could have to score well on the High School Placement Test (HSPT) for consideration by administrators. While there's no nationally standardized scoring, the exam tests your 8th grader's language, math quantitative, reading, and verbal skills. Those taking the test aim to get as close to an 800 as they can, but understanding all the content and the format of the exam is tough. The educational directors at Varsity Tutors could help your child connect with an independent tutor in Manhattan, NY, who can assist you in understanding the HSPT.
Preparing for private or parochial school can take up a lot of time. A tutor who has taken the HSPT before, and is an expert at teaching it, can both save time and work around your child's schedule. They can meet after school and when no activities are in the way, at your student's home, library, park, or other convenient location. Tutors are also open to face-to-face meetings on the web, using a live learning platform that is designed to optimize HSPT instruction and preparation.
