High School Placement Test (HSPT)/ISEE Intensive Preparation Summer Camp

During the Young Genius HSPT Camp, July 27-August 14 from 1 to 4pm students will:

• begin with a computerized assessment test and a detailed personalized score report listing their areas of strength and challenges, which will allow us to create a curriculum tailored to each student’s needs;
• during class sessions students will learn aspects of mathematics and English, which are found on the test and solidify these concepts through specially designed worksheets, as well as learn hints on how to best approach the HSPT;
• take timed sections of the HSPT so that students can learn how to budget their time and implement the knowledge they gain in class;
• finish with a full second computerized assessment test that will simulate a real test environment and give the students an approximate score they will receive on the actual HSPT,
• receive guidance from the outline to the final version of their personal statements for all of the schools they are applying to.
