New Rochelle HSPT Tutoring FAQ
With 300 questions and 2.5 hours long, the High School Placement Test, or HSPT, can make getting into a private school seem impossible to your student. The exam does not have a nationally standardized score report, although it has many of the hallmarks of a standardized test. It's scored between 200 and 800 points. Language, verbal skills, reading, quantitative skills, and math are covered. To top it all off, there are several versions of the HSPT, and the individual school can add its own optional section on top of the optional topics such as science, mechanical aptitude, or Catholic religion. A true challenge for any 8th grader! Call Varsity Tutors today to find professional HSPT tutors in New Rochelle, NY, for your child, to help them develop a study plan that is catered to their skills, abilities, and learning style.
The tutor can assess their weaknesses. If your child needs help with grammar, arithmetic, or algebra, for example, the tutor will focus their time during personalized lessons. This all can be done on your child's schedule. Preparation for admission into private school is a busy time, but tutoring can be set for the evening or on a weekend. Another unique aspect of tutoring is the instructor can travel, meeting at a library or other convenient location, even your child's home. Even if your child would rather learn face-to-face on a live learning platform, via the Internet, we can help locate an independent tutor for them in New Rochelle, experienced in preparation for the HSPT.
A skilled HSPT tutor in New Rochelle will take your child's interests into account, to create engrossing study sessions that keep them focused and engaged the entire time. This makes the process less stressful and more productive. The tutor will also include relevant materials and practice tests to get your child familiar with the exam, and to assess their progress along the way. Everything is catered to their needs and is not "one-size fits all."
Your child's tutor will build on their test-taking experience, and their proficiency as a teacher. Alternative methods of instruction can be used where necessary. Even if you child does not grasp a concept right away, the tutor will go back and review it in a different style. Individualized HSPT tutoring in New Rochelle, NY, will potentially help your student work toward their goals on test day. With such assistance, it's possible to overcome any barriers and be a confident and efficient test taker.
