High School Placement Test - HSPT
The High School Placement Test is a REQUIRED entrance exam for all current 8th graders seeking 9th grade admission to Bishop Machebeuf High School. The exam tests students’ abilities in the following areas: Verbal Skills, Quantitative Skills, Reading, Mathematics, and Language. Students may NOT use calculators on the HSPT.
The Machebeuf Admissions Committee reviews applications and offers admission based on a number of different criteria including HSPT results. The placement test along with a complete application gives our Admissions Committee a good assessment of the student’s preparedness for high school. Students who perform well in particular academic areas on the HSPT will be invited to test for honors and advanced courses for their freshman year.
The Common Test Date for the HSPT was Saturday, December 3, 2011. Machebeuf sent scores from that assessment via mail to all test takers over Christmas Break. If you did not receive your scores, please contact the Office of Admissions.
The Make-up Test Date for the HSPT was Saturday, January 14, 2012. If you did not receive you scores, please contact the Office of Admissions.
