Newton HSPT Tutoring FAQ
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.
