The High School Placement Test, or HSPT, is administered by individual private schools. It has 300 questions and students are given two-and-a-half hours to complete them. Students who take the HSPT are evaluated for their language, math, quantitative, reading, and verbal skills, though they have the option to complete other sections as well if their school of choice requires it. If your child wants to apply for admission to a private high school, you may be wondering how you can provide the best support for them.

They may provide practice HSPT tests, which can serve as an introduction to the testing format, instructions, and timing. Your child's hand-selected tutor can spend time teaching your child test-taking strategies that might improve their performance to showcase their skills to private high schools.
