The Saint Mark's High School Placement Test (HSPT) is a required part of our admissions process for eighth grade students. Taking the test at Saint Mark's guarantees the consideration for academic scholarships, depending on performance. In efforts to prepare eighth grade students for the Official 8th Grade HSPT, we host two HSPT Prep Course sessions prior to the exam each fall. The prep course sessions are designed for eighth grade students to attend both sessions. The content is cumulative. Additionally, we host a 7th Grade Practice HSPT each spring to help familiarize seventh grade students with the exam prior to entering their 8th grade year.
