HSPT Private School Entrance Exam Review Final Session for Middle School
We are offering four review sessions to help our MCS students prepare for private school entrance exams, specifically the High School Placement Test (HSPT) and the Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE). Math and English will be reviewed in each session. All four sessions will be different, so we recommend you attend all four. Students are encouraged to purchase the HSPT or ISEE test books available at Barnes and Nobel or online. Any version of the HSPT or ISEE test book is fine. Please have your child bring the book to each session.
The last session will be held on Wednesday, January 9th, from 3:00-4:30pm in Mrs. Thurston's room.
The sessions are long, but are designed to allow review of both Math and English. We will also provide a short snack break. These sessions should provide a good stretching of our students' "test endurance." Generally, entrance exam testing periods are three to fours hours in length. Most middle school students are not used to sitting and testing for so long!
All four sessions are included in the $40 fee. Your FACTS account will be billed after the first session you attend.
Please RSVP to [email protected] if your child will be attending any sessions.
***Please let us know if you'd like to donate snack items for these review sessions. It would be much appreciated by the hungry students.
