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 High School Placement Test, or HSPT, taken by eighth graders, is used by staff at private Catholic high schools for admissions decisions, student placement, and to make scholarship level decisions. The HSPT exam is 2 hours 20 minutes long and asks 298 questions, all of which are multiple choice, so you can answer them quickly.
There are five sections to the HSPT: verbal, quantitative, reading comprehension, mathematics, and language skills. Each right answer is worth one point, with no penalty for wrong answers. You can get connected with a skilled HSPT tutor in McKinney, TX, by contacting Varsity Tutors. Your tutor can offer valuable test-taking strategies to try to help you get accepted to the school that tops your list of favorite choices.
Your tutor could help you solve any recurring problems with specific test subjects, and emphasize that you must read all directions carefully and thoroughly. This is a vital part of your preparation for the HSPT test. Being ready for your test day, with the proper writing tools and your confidence tank full, helps you get the best score--and helps you get admitted to the school you want.
You could have 16 minutes to complete the verbal section, and 30 minutes to finish the quantitative (series, geometric comparisons, and number sequences) portion. The allotted time to complete reading comprehension is 25 minutes, while you have 45 minutes to answer the math questions. You'll have 25 minutes to answer 60 multiple-choice questions on capitalization, punctuation, and spelling questions in the language skills section of the HSPT. To help you pursue your full potential on the HSPT exam, let us find you a professional tutor in McKinney today. Your expert tutor could help you polish the subject areas that give you trouble.
The HSPT is offered twice per year (in spring and fall) and open to eighth graders hoping to be accepted at a private parochial school for their high school experience. If you do not score well the first time, there is little value in retaking the test, since the lowest score is the one reported to the schools of your choice.

You can contact an educational director for help finding HSPT tutors in McKinney, TX. You could be amazed at the help an expert tutor can offer you.
