Testing

Private high schools have specific tests they want students to take.

    • Catholic High Schools: the High School Placement Test (HSPT) is used by many of the schools. Some schools have posted testing date (late November/early December) information, but some schools have not. Check each school you’re interested in to find out about their placement test dates.
    • Other Private High Schools: many other private schools use either the ISEE or SSAT tests as part of their admissions process. Please make sure to check each school for which tests they accept and register for the test.
