Can my child take the HSPT more than once?

Unfortunately, the HSPT is a one-and-done deal. Students are only allowed to take it once per admissions cycle, which makes every question count. This isn’t like the SAT or ACT where you can retest and superscore. With the HSPT, what your child earns on test day is the final word. That’s why it’s so important to prepare ahead of time.

We recommend taking a full-length diagnostic test early in the process, following it up with a personalized study plan, and working through multiple practice tests to build confidence and speed. The good news? With the right prep, one shot is all your child needs. And no, trying to sneak in a second test at another school won’t work.
