Schaumburg HSPT Tutoring FAQ
The HSPT, or High School Placement Test, is given to students in private and Catholic schools to determine their acceptance or placement for starting high school. Your child may be nervous, and unsure of what to expect on the exam. Or, perhaps your child could benefit from extra help in one of the subjects they will be tested on, such as math, or verbal skills. Varsity Tutors can connect you and your child with a talented HSPT tutor in Schaumburg who can try to help them set goals and potentially exceed them in a timely manner.
The HSPT is given twice a year, in the spring and fall, and lasts about two and a half hours. The test is split into several sections: math, reading, verbal skills, language, and quantitative skills. There are also optional sections on the test that may include topics such as religion or science. If you believe your child could benefit from brushing up in one or more of the topics covered, or could use the help of a tutor who has taken the HSPT, there's no time like the present to get started with a tutor.
