[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who pays for tests? As a parent with a kid attending public school looking to attend Catholic HS, I would find it odd if the scores were sent to schools weeks before I got them. [/quote]

Parents pay for the test. For some reason the test scores are sent directly to the K-8 parochial schools and the high schools where the child applied BEFORE sending it to the parents who paid for the test. Ridiculous.[/quote]

I don't understand why this is ridiculous.[/quote]

I've had 2 take it..Its completely ridiculous. Scores should go to parents as soon as available.  What is the argument for not doing so?
[/quote]

I have had four take it. Why would that matter? The scores will go to the schools regardless. You can’t cancel them without missing the admission deadline.[/quote]

While it doesn't matter to you, it does matter to me and other parents since our kids took[b] the test[/b] and especially if[b] they paid for the test[/b] - why are they getting this news AFTER everyone else? If you look at the recent Washington Archdiocese 2018 report (more parochial kids (PK) score advanced, less average and less poor (2/3 ain't bad?) - more nonparochial kids (NP) take the HSPT than parochial kids, greater % of parochial kids score advanced who take it before NPs which makes sense since these kids are tracking toward Catholic HS and might have been prepared. What's interesting is that later NPs take the test, each NP cohort does demonstrably worse in all of the 5 tests in the 3 successive test dates. Still doing the math here but it looks shady.[/quote]
