Time Management on the HSPT

Beating the Clock

The HSPT Quantitative section is timed, so using your minutes wisely is key.

  • Scan the test and answer the easy questions first.
  • Don’t spend too long on any one question—circle it and come back if you need to.
  • Watch the clock and keep a steady pace.

Practicing with a timer at home helps you get comfortable with the test’s rhythm.

Examples

  • Answer all the questions you know first, then return to harder ones.

  • If you have 30 questions in 30 minutes, aim for one minute per question.
