How the course runs

The structure, start to finish.

1

Diagnostic test

Students begin with a full practice test that pinpoints strengths and the areas to focus on, so class time goes where it matters.

2

Weekly classes × 8

Each session pairs curriculum review with HSPT-format practice under real timing conditions, plus PEACE confidence activities: goal-setting, self-assessment, journaling, and prayer.

3

Full mock HSPT

On the final day, students sit a complete, timed mock exam — so nothing about test day is unfamiliar.

The Curriculum

Every HSPT section, covered.

The HSPT is a 298-question multiple-choice test in five timed sections, about 2.5 hours in total. Here’s what each section asks — and how we prepare students for it. [verify timings/question counts per section if you’d like them shown]

Verbal Skills

Section 1

Synonyms, antonyms, logic, analogies, and verbal classifications. Students learn to recognize how each question type is asked — choosing the “best answer” for synonyms and antonyms, and finding patterns and drawing conclusions for logic, analogies, and classifications.

Quantitative Skills

Section 2

Number series, geometric and non-geometric comparisons, and number manipulations. These questions reward pattern recognition and mental math — skills we build through repeated, timed practice in the HSPT’s exact format.

Reading

Section 3

Two components: reading passages with comprehension questions, and vocabulary definitions. Time management is critical here, so timed reading is practiced across multiple sessions, each focused on a different skill — main ideas, characterization, and interpreting context clues.

Mathematics

Section 4

Arithmetic, elementary algebra, and basic geometry, plus word-problem solving. Many students haven’t practiced some of these concepts in years — the course reviews essential material not just from 8th grade but from earlier grades too.

Language

Section 5

Punctuation, capitalization, grammar, spelling, usage, and composition. Students practice spotting errors quickly and confidently in the multiple-choice format the HSPT uses.
