The Quantitative Skills section of the High School Placement Test (HSPT) can pose a set of unique challenges, both on test day and during preparation, because its questions combine both logic and mathematical concepts. Lasting for fifty-two minutes, the test consists of thirty questions and asks students to complete sequences, find and predict patterns, and manipulate numbers. With such a specific skill set needed for success on this portion of the HSPT, you may want your child to have some extra help as he or she reviews for the exam.
If your child is having trouble with the material tested in the HSPT Quantitative Skills section or is having difficulty dissecting the unique question presentations and formats, consider calling Varsity Tutors to find out how we can help you connect with a HSPT Quantitative Skills tutor who can provide your student with custom-tailored instruction that might be just the thing to help him or her make sense of the concepts and problem types with which he or she is currently struggling.
