The High School Placement Test (HSPT) is an annual admissions exam given by private and Catholic high schools to determine the academic strengths of their potential incoming freshman classes. The test contains over two hundred questions and measures mathematical and verbal abilities. Study guides for the HSPT are readily available via several options.
Instructions
1. Visit your local public library and look up "HSPT" on the library catalog to find a study guide in print. If your library doesn't have a study guide for the HSPT, ask a librarian if the library can request one from another library and have it shipped to yours. Many public libraries participate in resource sharing consortia such as this.
2. Ask your librarian if the library subscribes to a database called LearningExpressLibrary. This database contains hundreds of free practice exams and study guides for a variety of exams, including the HSPT.
3. Buy a study guide, new or used, from a bookstore. Many study guides come with CD-ROMs included, so that you can take practice tests on your home computer. Peterson's, Barron's and McGraw-Hill are reputable publishers of HSPT study guides.
4. Download free or fee-based study guides for the HSPT online from sites such as StudyGuideZone and Peterson's.
