The HSPT, or High School Placement Test, is part of the admissions process for individual parochial and private secondary schools. Your child can take the exam in 8th grade either in the spring or fall. Since the exam is only administered by select schools, it is not a standardized exam. Schools use it to compare students across a single grade-level to choose the top students who meet their expectations. Your child can receive a score between 200 and 800. There are five sections on the exam that are required: language, math, quantitative, reading, and verbal skills. Depending on the school, your child may be required to take additional sections. You don't have to let your child struggle to prepare alone. Contact Varsity Tutors. Our skilled educational directors are happy to try to help you connect with an experienced HSPT tutor in Newton, Massachusetts.
All of the tutors that our educational directors can connect you with in Newton are skilled in teaching the HSPT. Your child is matched to a tutor based on how well the instructor can meet your child's needs.

The Varsity Tutors educational directors can find you an expert HSPT tutor in Newton to cater to your child's individual needs. The tutor will develop a personalized lesson plan that addresses only the concepts that your child needs to learn, rather than encompassing the entire exam. Your child can dictate what they study and how long they do it, while the tutor paces themselves to keep up with your student. With a personal tutor, your child is the center of attention. They can ask questions as they arise and receive instant feedback to their qualms. The tutor could teach your child invaluable testing strategies that can boost their accuracy and performance. Your child may work on practice HSPTs to get familiar with the exam, questions, and other aspects of the test.
Your child's tutor has a flexible schedule that can be adapted to your needs. You can arrange to have your child meet their tutor in-person at your home or anywhere else that you feel is convenient.
