Preparing for the HSPT  

with Study Buddy

The HSPT, or High School Placement Test, is a standardized test commonly used by private and parochial high schools as part of their admissions process. Our comprehensive approach to HSPT preparation is designed to support students every step of the way, from initial assessment to test day success.

The Roadmap:

  • We begin by providing students with a full-length practice test to assess their current skill levels and identify areas of strength and improvement.

  • Based on the assessment results, our experienced tutors make personalized recommendations for your student.

  • Our tailored tutoring sessions target specific sections of the HSPT, such as Verbal Skills, Quantitative Skills, Reading Comprehension, Mathematics, and Language.

  • Throughout the preparation process, students have the opportunity to practice full-length HSPT exams under realistic testing conditions. We carefully monitor their progress and score changes to track improvement over time.

  • In addition to content review, we provide students with valuable tips, strategies, and coaching to optimize their performance on the HSPT.

  • Beyond test preparation, our tutors offer guidance and support throughout the application process. We're here to help students put their best foot forward.

Parent of a rising 9th grader

My son began tutoring with Study Buddy in August 2023 to prepare for the High School Placement Test (HSPT). My eighth-grade son excelled in the PSAT 8/9, surpassing averages at the school, county, state, and national levels. With such success, I'm confident his HSPT scores will be equally impressive, if not better. I wholeheartedly recommend Study Buddy and Mr. Mario for their exceptional dedication to connecting with students and delivering outstanding results. Their combination of expertise and a personalized teaching approach is truly invaluable.
