While standardized tests are optional at many universities and colleges, many top schools are still taking test scores into consideration.
Check out our analysis of some top universities from the 2023 Common Data Set for college admissions.
The High School Placement Test (HSPT) is often a requirement for admission into many parochial schools, such as Loyola Academy and St. Ignatius College Prep, among others. This test is typically administered in December, when students are in their eighth-grade year.
The HSPT is usually taken at the student’s first-choice school. This means that students should identify their preferred school early enough to schedule their HSPT accordingly. The result of this test plays a significant role in the admission decision of these parochial schools. Therefore, it’s crucial to be well-prepared to take the test.
The HSPT covers various academic areas including verbal skills, quantitative skills, reading comprehension, mathematics, and language, testing the student’s knowledge and readiness for high school level work. A good score on the HSPT can significantly boost a student’s chances of gaining admission into their school of choice.
Thus, considering the critical role the HSPT plays in the admissions process of many prestigious parochial schools, preparation cannot be underestimated. It’s advised that students start preparing early to familiarize themselves with the test format, structure, and type of questions they might encounter. At Academic Approach, we offer tailored tutoring programs to help students excel in the HSPT, thereby enhancing their chances of being accepted into their desired high school.
