  1. The night before the HSPT, what is the best preparation?

    Answer: Get a full night of sleep and pack materials

    Rest and preparation the night before improve focus and reduce test-day stress.

  2. What should you bring to the HSPT testing center?

    Answer: Several No. 2 pencils and admission materials

    The HSPT does not allow calculators, so bring No. 2 pencils and required admission documents.

  3. If you feel anxious during the test, what technique can help you refocus?

    Answer: Take a few slow, deep breaths

    Slow, deep breathing calms nerves and helps restore concentration.

  4. Why is it useful to check that your answer number matches the question number?

    Answer: To avoid bubbling answers in the wrong row

    Skipping a question without skipping its bubble can misalign every answer that follows.

  5. On the HSPT, is a calculator permitted in the Math section?

    Answer: No, calculators are not allowed

    Calculators are prohibited on the HSPT, so you must rely on mental and written math.

  6. When you change an answer, what should you do with the old mark?

    Answer: Erase it completely

    A fully erased old mark prevents the scanner from reading two answers as wrong.

  7. How can practicing full-length timed tests improve your HSPT performance?

    Answer: It builds stamina and improves pacing

    Timed practice builds endurance and trains you to manage the strict section time limits.
