Quick answers about the HSPT.
What is the HSPT?
The HSPT is the High School Placement Test used by many Catholic high schools for admissions, placement, and often scholarships.
Is there a free HSPT practice test?
Yes. The free 25-question diagnostic covers all five HSPT sections, gives instant results, and does not require signup to begin.
When should my child start HSPT prep?
Most families should start 8 to 12 weeks before test day, which usually means September for late-fall exams and late August for January exams.
