High School Placement Test (HSPT) for the Class of 2016 ...

High School Placement Test (HSPT) for the Class of 2016
Administered at Bishop O’Connell High School
The High School Placement Test (HSPT) is used for admission review and placement at the Diocese of Arlington high schools.
Eighth graders currently enrolled in a Catholic school in the Diocese of Arlington are tested in their respective schools on December 1.
Students who are enrolled in either a public or private (non-Diocesan) school or home schooled must take the test as part of the
application process to a Diocesan high school. Students taking the HSPT in the Archdiocese of Washington do not need to take the
test in Arlington. Students applying from outside the Washington Metropolitan area do not need to take the test to apply for admission
to Bishop O’Connell.
