Many private high schools use the High School Placement Test to determine admissions, scholarship eligibility, course placement, or a combination of all three. If your child is in the eighth grade and has plans to take the HSPT for the next school year, some dedicated study time should be set aside for preparing for the challenging test. The five main areas tested by the HSPT are verbal, quantitative, reading, language, and mathematics skills. Some students find it helpful to do regular HSPT Math review, as the section is exceptionally challenging, with over 60 multiple-choice questions to answer within 45 minutes. Varsity Tutors’ Learning Tools offer independent self-study materials to assist in sharpening your child’s math skills to prepare them for the High School Placement Test. The free online Flashcards from Varsity Tutors’ Learning Tools provide high quality study material to help your child with their HSPT Math review. The Flashcards tool also allows your child flexibility and control over how much time is spent studying each specific concept during the course of their study sessions.

The online Flashcards tool breaks down the content of the HSPT Math section into Concepts and Problem Solving categories, each containing one to three levels of subtopics. The subtopics contain much more specific content, and the tiered structure allows your child to easily determine in which areas their strengths and weaknesses are. Within each set of flashcards, your child will find multiple-choice questions that simulate the format of the actual exam. Each of the multiple-choice questions is followed by five possible solutions. Once your child selects an answer, the flashcard is flipped over and the correct answer is revealed. A detailed explanation showing all the work required to reach the correct answer is also included on the results page. The multiple-choice solutions are placed in a different order each time your child refreshes or revisits the set of HSPT Math Flashcards. The ability to practice with multiple-choice questions and answers provides your child with the opportunity to work with realistic HSPT Math study help. Additionally, your child has the ability to share a flashcard on several different social media platforms with one easy click.

The HSPT Math Flashcards from Varsity Tutors’ Learning Tools are just one of the many free resources offered on the website. Learn by Concept, Practice Tests, and a Question of the Day are all available to help your child with their HSPT Math review. Learn by Concept and the Practice Tests are organized in a similar manner as the Flashcards, with an increasingly detailed concept-specific structure. Additionally, the Practice Tests offer a timed and scored assessment for an accurate representation of your child’s progress. Your child can also create an account, track their scores, and create customized Practice Tests and Flashcards. The Question of the Day provides consistent practice by presenting a randomly selected HSPT Math practice question drawn from one of the many Practice Tests each day. By using all of the Learning Tools together, your child can create a comprehensive and unique study regimen that can fit into even the busiest of schedules.
