[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a very weird system to give the test and then require applications to go in totally blind - you have NO idea where your kid stands in terms of the scores. I don't understand it. The SAT and ACT scores come back in like 13 days. How could HSPT take so many weeks to score?

I can't speak to admissions but I do know that very high HSPT scores led to merit scholarships for my DD a few years ago at two DC Catholic girls' schools.

I agree with the first paragraph - but I suppose admission isn't as dependent on HSPT score as college admission is dependent on SAT/ACT.  Our K-8 gave us no guidance so far as our child's chances at the school of choice.  Only supported basics such as recommendations (although this went straight to teachers for some schools) and submitting transcripts.  Underwhelming but not surprising based on our experience over the past 9 years.

So far as timing of results, we are Diocese of Arlington and had them via US Mail from our school maybe 2 weeks after the test.  [/quote]
