[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The questions on the HSPT are easier than SSAT (much easier in math), but the test puts a premium on speed. Whether your kid needs a class might come down to whether you're in the situation of trying to go from a 95% to a 98% and a scholarship. If not, a book or two and self practice might do the trick. [/quote] My child got a 96% on the official practice given at an ADW school this spring. We would be very interested in trying to go for scholarships. I’m wondering if the score will naturally increase (like many who take the SAT junior spring simply do better senior fall) or if one of these courses would be needed to push it up that last bit. And do the schools look at the national percentile or local percentile? All I see on applications is that one of the check boxes is to submit the scores, but not any info on how they are considered.[/quote]
