Testmasters Launches High School Placement Test (HSPT) Courses

Jan. 19, 2011 - PRLog -- The intensely competitive college admissions process has more and more parents turning to private schools to give their kids an advantage.  Expanding on its private school admissions offerings for the three Independent School Entrance (ISEE) Exams, Testmasters has recently launched a comprehensive High School Placement Test (HSPT) course. With both traditional classroom courses and private tutoring, Testmasters can help parents provide their children with the preparation needed for success on these exams.

While most parents already know about the SAT and ACT, fewer realize that their kids will need to take tests to get into private schools as well.  With admissions rates ranging anywhere from 20% to 60%, private schools can often be just as competitive as colleges; thus, parents would be wise to treat private school entrance exams with the same seriousness as college entrance exams.

The ISEE comes in three varieties – Lower Level ISEE (elementary school), Mid Level ISEE (middle school), and Upper Level ISEE (high school).  Since 2008, Testmasters has offered distinct, focused courses for each level of the ISEE, ensuring that students are learning exactly what they need to perform to their highest ability on the test.  Included in every Testmasters course are the Testmasters course manual and six practice ISEE exams.  To see what past students have to say about Testmasters’ ISEE courses, visit the testimonials page of their website.

Though not quite as common as the ISEE, the HSPT is another major player in private school admissions.  Administered primarily by Catholic and other parochial schools, the HSPT is similar in content and format to the Upper Level ISEE, but has some important differences that require specialized attention.  In response to the demand for authentic preparation materials which are not readily available in stores, Testmasters developed its course and materials using actual HSPT tests.  The courses include a Testmasters course manual and six practice HSPT exams.  For more information about Testmasters’ HSPT preparation courses and materials, call 281-276-7777.
