What if my child struggles with test anxiety or timing issues?

Join the club—plenty of students freeze up when the clock starts ticking. The good news? That’s exactly what we’re here for. We don’t just teach the content of the HSPT; we teach the mindset. Our coaches work on everything from pacing to confidence to what to do when a question makes zero sense (spoiler: don’t panic).

For students who need a little extra help calming their nerves, we start with smaller drills and build up to full-length timed tests. We show them how to use tools like process of elimination, smart guessing, and what we call a “mental reset” when things go sideways. Our goal isn’t just a higher score—it’s a calmer, more confident student who walks into that test room knowing they’ve got this. Because let’s face it, preparation beats panic every time.
