[quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks very much for the supportive messages and helpful advice.  My son's CMP was 28 and he tested at the 7th grade equivalency for all categories, so we are talking way lower than a "good" score.  It is helpful information to understand that the HSPT is geared toward the Catholic school curriculum, and he did score about 20 points better in math and QT than in reading/language, although even with this in mind I'm still shocked at how low he scored.

I appreciate hearing from the other posters that they contacted the admission counselor to discuss scores, I am going to do this as well.  And kicking myself now because he did not take a class or have a tutor for test prep, he did sample questions from a book I ordered from Amazon -- and did very well on them, so I felt we were OK without a tutor -- but for his siblings I definitely will hire a tutor.  Best of luck to all of you re admissions decisions!  I guess we'll see what happens when we get the letter...[/quote]
