HSPT 2025-26

Thank you for your interest in St. Vincent-St. Mary High School! 

The High School Placement Test (HSPT) is a national exam which tests students in five core areas: verbal ability, quantitative ability, reading, math and language arts. This test is a required part of our admissions process. Students can take the HSPT here or at other Catholic high schools. A student who is interested in an academic scholarship, a STVM Foundation scholarship, or being a part of our intervention program, is required to take the HSPT at STVM. 

Test results are usually available one week after students test. STVM uses the HSPT scores along with 7th and 8th grade report cards, teacher recommendation forms and an admission application to see if our academic program would be a good match for your student.
