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. Your student could take this test in eighth grade if he or she is applying to a Catholic high school, and preparation is very important. 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 tutor can create a plan that touches on each content area, or spend the majority of study time focused on one or two areas that might be weaker than others. We'll find you a hand-picked HSPT tutor in Naperville, IL, who will love what they teach, which allows them to make your study sessions engaging. Your student won't feel like these tutoring sessions are difficult or unpleasant. They will feel like they're taking an active part in ensuring they are accepted into a desirable school.
Varsity Tutors could help you connect with a professional HSPT tutor in Naperville. Your student could benefit from a customized plan of study that will likely increase confidence and preparation for this important exam. 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. If after school sessions in-person work best for your family, your tutor can come to your home or meet with your student in a public place. If you'd prefer to have online tutoring sessions while your child is at home, that can be arranged as well. The priority is to make your student feel comfortable and prepared for the HSPT.
There are optional sections included in the HSPT, such as Catholic religion, science, and mechanical aptitude. Some Catholic schools also include custom testing areas for students who are applying to their programs. Your child's tutor will be prepared and able to address any subject area. If you're not sure where to find a qualified tutor for such a specialized test - don't worry. You can get connected with a skilled HSPT tutor in Naperville, IL, by contacting Varsity Tutors.
