Testing Dates

Schools offer the exam in the fall or winter prior to enrollment. It's important to check with the schools for their specific requirements and deadlines. Additionally, the HSPT is typically administered in January. Keep in mind that individual schools may have varying policies on accepting retake scores, so it is advisable to confirm their guidelines before planning to retake the exam.

Timing

The standard HSPT lasts just over 2½ hours

Scoring

When taking the HSPT, the number of correct answers is used to calculate the score. Each correct answer is worth one point, and there are no penalties for incorrect answers or unanswered questions. The raw score is then converted into a scaled score, which ranges from 200 to 800 for each section. This takes into account the difficulty level of the test version. The scaled scores from the five sections (Verbal Skills, Quantitative Skills, Reading Comprehension, Mathematics, and Language) are added together to get the total score, which can range from 600 to 2400. This scoring process is an important aspect of the HSPT, and students should be aware of it when preparing for the test.

These scores play a crucial role in the evaluation process for schools. Once converted to the standardized scoring scale, ranging from 200 to 800, schools utilize these scores for various purposes such as admissions, determining academic placement, and awarding scholarships. The comprehensive nature of the scoring system ensures that students' performance across different sections is accurately reflected in their total score, which is instrumental in schools' decision-making processes.
