The Most Comprehensive HSPT Verbal, Reading, and Language Prep
The High School Placement Test (HSPT) is a key entrance exam for Catholic and parochial high schools, covering a broad range of topics under strict time limits. Comprehensive and realistic practice is essential for success. This workbook provides over 1,700 multiple-choice practice questions dedicated to the Reading, Language, and Verbal Sections, giving students the quality and quantity of practice they need.
Students and educators will find:
- 1 diagnostic test to pinpoint areas for improvement.
- 2 full-length practice tests to simulate real exam conditions.
- 600+ verbal practice questions, featuring revised logic questions with detailed, more instructive answer explanations to strengthen reasoning skills.
- 600+ language practice questions covering grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure.
- 400+ reading comprehension questions to build critical reading skills.
- Strategies and guidance for tackling the reading, writing, and language sections—nearly 60% of the total test.
This workbook is perfect for independent practice or guided study with a tutor or teacher. To maximize study time, we recommend pairing this book with expert instruction for additional support on new or particularly challenging topics.
For a complete HSPT prep experience, check out our companion book:
“HSPT Mathematics and Quantitative Reasoning: 1,300+ Practice Questions!”
Using both books together ensures students get the most well-rounded preparation possible.
