The High School Placement Test, or HSPT, is used by many private high schools to determine admissions. The HSPT is administered to current 8th grade students seeking admission into 9th grade at private schools. Prepare for the exam today using Varsity Tutors’ free HSPT app for Android-powered smartphones and tablets.

The HSPT tests students in four key areas: Verbal and Quantitative, Reading, Mathematics, and Language. There are also optional tests that cover science, mechanical aptitude, and Catholic religion. Depending on the school or institution to which you are seeking admission, you may be asked to take a number of the optional tests. Upon completion of the HSPT, a batter composite score is computed from the four key areas. Results from any optional tests are not included in this composite score. In order to increase one’s chances of success on the exam, a student could make use of the free Varsity Tutors HSPT app for Android devices. Students can begin with a diagnostic test offered on the app, then move on to using the interactive flashcards and practice tests.

Achieving your test score goals on the HSPT is best done through well-planned study sessions and periodic practice tests. Whether you are applying to multiple schools or trying to gain acceptance into a single school of your choice, utilize great learning resources, such the HSPT app for Android-powered smartphones and tablets offered for free by Varsity Tutors, to help you maximize your chances of success.
