The SSAT (Secondary School Admissions Test) and the ISEE (Independent School Entrance Exam) are both offered at different levels for students entering different grades. The HSPT (High School Placement Test) is a test for entrance into 9th grade and higher for Catholic High Schools. These tests are usually taken by students whose schools only go through grade 8, students changing from public to private school, students changing private schools, and students applying to boarding schools. Testing requirements vary by school, so please check with individual schools to verify which test(s) they accept. To prepare for these tests, we often begin with an Initial Diagnostic Assessment to understand a student's current abilities. The results are then discussed in a follow-up consultation and a plan is formulated to help the student achieve his or her full potential.
