Seventh graders!

Are you thinking ahead to high school?

If you apply to a Catholic High School, you will be asked to take the  HSPT (High School Placement Test). 

Saint Mary’s will host an opportunity for seventh graders to participate in a Seventh Grade HSPT Practice Test on Saturday, May 4, 2024.

This practice test is intended to help students become more familiar with the different sections of the HSPT, especially under timed conditions.  Space is limited to 100 spaces. Registration closes when full.

For those families who register for Seventh Grade Day:

• A reminder email will be sent to all registered participants. Results of the practice test will be mailed home to families in mid-May as a tool for them to assess their child’s strengths and allow for enough time to concentrate on areas of growth before taking the genuine test.

• Test results are strictly confidential and are not sent to the student’s school or kept at Saint Mary’s College High School. Exam results will not be mailed to the student’s current school.

• Testing accommodations will NOT be provided for the practice test. However, if you know your child will need accommodations for the official HSPT, you can send in the required documentation next year when you apply.

• All materials are provided by Saint Mary’s.  Students may want to bring something to read while they are waiting or if they finish a section of the test early.

How the test day will go:

7:45 AM Check-in at the Shea Center

8:00 AM Test begins

There will be multiple 5-15 minute breaks throughout the test

11:30-45 AM Test ends (times may vary slightly depending on when their testing room starts)

PLEASE NOTE:

ONCE YOU PAY, PLEASE CHECK YOUR CONFIRMATION EMAIL FOR THE SCORE REPORT LINK. THIS IS SEPARATE FROM WHAT YOU JUST FILLED OUT. THIS “2nd REGISTRATION” IS TO ENSURE YOUR CHILD’S PRACTICE HSPT SCORES ARE SENT DIRECTLY TO YOUR HOME.
