The High School Placement Test (HSPT) is used by many Catholic schools as an admissions test and as a placement test within their schools. This test is only administered to 8th grade students entering 9th grade. The HSPT is developed by Scholastic Testing Service (STS) and is sometimes referred to as the STS exam or STS-HSPT. The exam often only utilized by private schools and private Catholic schools, to assess a middle school student’s performance, and to determine which school is the best academic fit for that student. Each school administers their own HSPT exam, unlike the SSAT or ISEE. Our HSPT tutors are here to help you succeed on the Catholic school entrance exams.
