Scottsdale HSPT Tutoring FAQ
If you wish to get your child into a private school, there are many challenges. First, many schools accept a limited number of students per year. Also, the entrance exams can be difficult. The High School Placement Test, or HSPT, is a commonly administered test in the U.S., but your child may not be familiar with its format. Although there is no nationally standardized score, the HSPT has all the hallmarks of a typical standardized test. It covers topics in a particular test format. It is also long, covering roughly 300 questions in 2.5 hours. Your child has less than a minute to answer each question. Time is also an issue with preparing; a student must prepare well in advance, but studying can be more time-consuming for someone without the right focus. Varsity Tutors can find your child an expert HSPT tutor in Scottsdale, AZ, to optimize their study time.
With a test such as the HSPT, it is better to study smarter, not longer. A tutor could help your child see what they already know, so they don't have to spend time reading and practicing those topics. The personal instructor will quickly identify their weaknesses and target these during customized study sessions. These are structured based on your student's abilities, learning style, and even personality. Better yet, there's help for finding such tutors. The educational directors at Varsity Tutors are experienced at connecting students in Scottsdale with HSPT tutors, so your child can receive help brushing up on arithmetic, algebra, reading comprehension, vocabulary, or any other subject.
On the HSPT, your child could be tested on language, math, quantitative skills, verbal skills, and reading. A tutor can also assist with any optional section, including science, to boost your student's chances of success. They are familiar with how 8th graders learn, and the challenges they face. Your child will receive practice tests, so they become familiar with the content and format, and with pacing their answers so they can answer each sub-test in time. Contact Varsity Tutors to get your student connected with HSPT tutors in Scottsdale. Each tutor is an expert in the HSPT, and in teaching.
Tutors are flexible. They will meet wherever your child is comfortable, whenever there is a time slot not filled with classes or after-school activities.
