7th GRADE PRACTICE PLACEMENT TEST

Althoff Catholic offers 7th graders the opportunity to take the HSPT placement test in the spring of their 7th-grade year—giving students a valuable head start before the real exam in 8th grade.

Taking the practice test helps students:

• Reduce test-day anxiety by becoming familiar with the format, pacing, and style of questions.
• Identify academic strengths and areas for growth early, so families have time to prepare before the official 8th-grade test.
• Build confidence through real testing experience in a supportive, low-pressure environment.
• Experience Althoff Catholic firsthand, meet staff, and become more comfortable with the high school transition.

This year’s practice test will be held on March 20, 2026 at 3:30 p.m.
The cost is $25 and can be paid in advance of the testing date.

This early preparation gives students a meaningful advantage and helps ensure they feel ready, confident, and set up for success when it truly counts. Sign up with the form at the bottom of the page.
