Once your application has been submitted you will automatically be registered to take the test at SHC. Only students applying to SHC may take the HSPT at SHC.  \nWhat if I am taking the HSPT at another high school?  \nIf you are taking the HSPT at a school other than SHC, we ask that you indicate that school in our online application for admission. Applicants choosing to take the exam at another school are responsible for making a reservation with that high school.  \nDoes the location of where I take the HSPT matter?  \nNo. Applicants are free to take the exam at any Catholic school in which they are applying.  \nWhere do applicants go when arriving on campus?  \nStudents will enter the La Salle Campus (1055 Ellis) and proceed to the Dining Hall to locate their assigned classroom location. Block Club members will be on campus to provide directionsand accompany your students.  \nWhat should I bring to the test?  \nAll testing materials will be supplied by Sacred Heart Cathedral. Calculators are not permitted. Students may bring cell phones and will be asked to turn off their device throughout the duration of the test.  \nWe suggest bringing a water bottle and snack for the break mid-way through the test.  \nMay parents stay on campus during testing?  \nParents are welcome to wait on campus (Student Life Center) for their student to finish the exam.  \nWhere should I pick up my student?  \nApplicants will be released to the front of the La Salle campus (1055 Ellis) at the conclusion of the test.  \nHow late can I take the HSPT?  \nThe HSPT is offered at alternative locations at later dates. If you are unable to take the HSPT at SHC on December 6th, we encourage you to schedule a testing date with another school. SHC will accept HSPT scores until January 16, 2026.  \nCan I get extended time on the HSPT?  \nApplicants with a documented learning difference or other diagnosis may be eligible for extended test time. Applicants must submit required documentation through the SHC application by November 20, 2025 to be considered.  \nHow and when will I receive my HSPT score?  \nAfter decisions are available online, you may contact the Admissions Office at [admissions@shcp.edu](admissions@shcp.edu) to request your HSPT score.","cbCais51ocCj3S4l","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCais51ocCj3S4l","pdf",151629,"English","# What is the HSPT?\n# Test date, time, and schedule at SHC\n# Registration and eligibility for SHC location\n# Taking the HSPT at another school\n# Campus arrival, routing, and where to pick up students\n# Test-day rules: what to bring and device policy\n# Parent options during testing\n# Alternative testing dates and score acceptance deadline\n# Extended time accommodations\n# Receiving and requesting HSPT scores","[{\"question\":\"What subjects and skills does the HSPT test for Sacred Heart Cathedral applicants?\",\"answer\":\"The HSPT assesses verbal skills, quantitative skills, reading, and math for students applying to Sacred Heart Cathedral.\"},{\"question\":\"When is the HSPT administered at SHC, and what is the testing window?\",\"answer\":\"The HSPT is administered at SHC on Saturday, December 6, 2025.
