Palo Alto HSPT Tutoring FAQ
Private and parochial schools come with a variety of benefits, so it's no surprise that students are eager to get into one of these unique academic institutions. Sometimes students are so eager that they forget about the application process. Often times part of the private and parochial school application process is taking the High School Placement Test (HSPT). Students submit their HSPT score with their application, and admissions officers weigh the score when deciding whether or not to accept them. A high score might secure a student a spot in the private or parochial school of their choice, while a low score could indicate to admissions that a student doesn't meet the academic requirements. That is why it's crucial that students take the test seriously and study in advance. The most effective and efficient way to prepare for the HSPT is by working with a tutor.
