The nine week course starts with an overview in Week 1. The initial class focuses on an overview of the course, establishes class expectations, provides an introduction to the HSPT, and reviews key test taking strategies that apply across all five sections of the assessment. After the overview in Week 1, the course is split into two, 4-week segments. One segment focuses on Reading, Language, and Verbal Skills and the other focuses on Math and Quantitative Skills. Students will have an experienced English teacher for the ELA segments and a high-quality Math instructor for the weeks dedicated to Math and Quantitative Skills.
