This program uses markup such as "++markup" and "markup++" to mark the beginning and end of each part. For example, to make changes to the tab names, change the text between "++ tab1" and "tab1 ++" as seen below the instructions. This will automatically change the tab name - after saving and reloading the page.

TABLE INSTRUCTIONS

Tables may be difficult to read because they can not contain line breaks (pressing the return key). This is because Squarespace inserts code at each line break that will make huge gaps in the table. For ease of reading, you can add line breaks while editing. But before saving, always REMOVE ALL LINE BREAKS. Keep one space around each markup tag.

READ MORE BUTTON INSTRUCTIONS - SPACING

If the 'Read More' button found at the bottom of each page is too high, don't use a normal Squarespace spacer block to make room. That's because Squarespace spacers don't appear in mobile mode. Instead, Use a Squarespace code block with the following code to give extra room:

++answerShould I guess on the HSPT?

On the HSPT, no points are deducted for incorrect answers, so you should always guess even if you don’t know the answer to a question.answer++

++answerWhat’s a good score on the HSPT?

You cannot pass or fail the HSPT. You will receive a score report with your Standard Score and your Cognitive Skills Quotient.

Your Standard Score (SS) is determined by finding your raw score, which is simply the number of questions you answered correctly on the test. That number is scaled to a score from 200 – 800. 

  • The more questions you answer correctly, the closer your SS will be to 800.

  • You will also receive a SS for each subject individually.

Your Cognitive Skills Quotient (CSQ) is measured only from the Verbal Skills and Quantitative Reasoning questions.

  • The CSQ is a measure of your reasoning and cognitive abilities and factors in a student’s age.

  • CSQ scores range from 70 – 130.

The HSPT also offers percentile ranking information that shows how your scores compare to the scores of other students who took the exam.

  • The National Percentile (NP) rank indicates how your score compares to the scores of other test-takers around the country.

  • The Local Percentile (LP) rank compares your score to the scores of other test-takers in your state or region.

The HSPT score report also includes grade equivalents (GE), which show how well you do in a subject compared to students in other grade levels.answer++
