How hard is the HSPT?

The HSPT can be challenging, but it does not mean you can’t ace it! It covers five sections: verbal skills, quantitative skills, reading comprehension, math, and language skills. Under restricted time limitations, the questions evaluate knowledge as well as problem-solving skills. For many pupils, keeping up the pace is the toughest challenge; there are approximately 300 questions, and you must answer them as quickly as possible. However, if you study consistently, take timed practice tests, and review your mistakes, you can definitely improve your score. Another thing! You should always answer every question, as guessing is not penalized. The test will seem much simpler if you practice regularly and are acquainted with middle school grammar, reading, and arithmetic.
