Are you looking to enter your child in a private or parochial high school? If so, they will need to ace the High School Placement Test (HSPT). Although this exam does not have a nationally standardized score report, it is nonetheless challenging. The test is 2.5 hours and consists of 300 questions. It assesses your child's math, language, quantitative, reading, and verbal skills in multiple choice format. Any 8th grader taking the HSPT must be proficient in all of these areas and start practicing the subject areas and test format well in advance. This can be tough to do alone. Varsity Tutors' educational directors can find your child an exceptional HSPT tutor in Minneapolis, MN, who can try to help them discover a newfound appreciation for the test.
A tutor can work with your student's abilities, learning style, and personality, and target each lesson according to their needs. They can apply the most effective materials and tools, so there is no guesswork. Also, multiple or alternative teaching methods can be used to try to help your child understand any challenging subject. Continuous assessments ensure they catch on - these may involve quizzes, assignments, and even homework. Their tutor can discuss with your child what concerns them the most and hone in on exactly what they need to learn, building confidence and preparedness.
Worried your child may not be on track to acing the HSPT? To connect your student with HSPT tutors in Minneapolis, call the educational directors at Varsity Tutors.
