The High School Placement Test (HSPT) is a standardized assessment utilized by many Catholic high schools nationwide and serves as a mandatory component of the admissions process for schools within the Diocese of Metuchen. The HSPT evaluates a student’s abilities across several key academic areas, including reading comprehension, sentence completion, verbal skills, spelling and vocabulary, and quantitative reasoning. The exam spans approximately two and a half hours and features a multiple-choice format.
All items marked with an asterisk (*) are required.
To support students in achieving their best possible performance, Immaculata High School offers a dedicated HSPT Prep Course - once every August (one week intensive) and once every October (eight one-hour sessions spread over four weeks). This program is designed to thoroughly prepare students in each section of the exam, equipping them with the skills and strategies needed to excel.
