Orange County HSPT Tutoring FAQ
The HSPT, or High School Placement Test, is required when signing up to a wide range of private parochial high schools. It was created to measure each student's verbal, quantitative, reading, mathematical, and language skills. The test is administered to 8th and 9th graders and is made up of almost 300 questions across those subjects. Additional test sections might be required by the school your child hopes to go to, and will concentrate on either the Catholic religion, mechanical aptitude, or science. Students need to be diligent within their preparation for the demands of the HSPT. Varsity Tutors can find you an experienced HSPT tutor in Orange County, CA, with expertise and depth of real information in the many topics of the test, and who can try to help students at all levels.
The questions on the HSPT cover language, mathematics, quantitative, verbal, and reading skills. Some schools also require additional sections on science, mechanical aptitude, or religion. Understanding all the information needed to score on top of the HSPT isn't easy.

Varsity Tutors' educational directors in Orange County, CA, will find a tutor for your child who can work with their learning style and abilities to try to help them do well on the HSPT.
