The High School Placement Test - or the HSPT - is administered to students hoping to attend Catholic high schools. While there is no national standard that applies to test scores, schools will look at the results when making admissions decisions and awarding scholarships.

Varsity Tutors could help your child make HSPT study sessions more productive by finding you a tutor in Naperville.
The HSPT test isn't unlike other standardized tests. There are sections of multiple choice questions in areas such as math, grammar, comparisons, and vocabulary.

Your child's study habits and strengths will be taken into consideration, and his or her tutor will have the flexibility you need to maintain a consistent schedule.
