The HSPT is a placement test kids take when they are applying to a catholic high school. The HSPT stands for High School Placement Test. When you take the HSPT you will take five separate sections, Verbal Skills, Quantitative Reasoning, Reading, Mathematics, and Language Skills.
You are given a certain amount of time for each section. At St.Philips we used to take the ITBS to see what knowledge we have and remember from our prior years. The HSPT is very similar to the ITBS since you are taking your test and recording your answers on a scantron.
Also the HSPT has questions on things that we have already learned. The HSPT can qualify you for a scholarship at the school that you are applying too. Overall the HSPT is not that hard and is just a test so the high schools can get an idea of the knowledge you have.
The ISEE is a placement test for kids entering independent schools. ISEE stands for independent school entrance exam. The ISEE has the same sections as the HSPT. Most people will tell you that the ISEE is more difficult than the HSPT but when we took the ISEE we thought it was much easier.
The thing that really made a difference was for example the HSPT has you answer 60 questions in 35 minutes and the ISEE has you answer 37 questions in 35 minutes. Although I did get my score back for ISEE which I took after my HSPT and I have still not recieved my HSPT scores.
In the ISEE you have each section scored on its own instead of one big score. Although both tests can help you qualify for a merit scholarship.
国内关于ISEE考试的文章非常少,这篇英文的文章是我们的课程顾问老师在美国的一家课程研究网站上看到的,我们把它翻译过来,希望能帮助家长们更好的了解ISEE和HSPT这两个考试。
翻译后
HSPT是孩子们在申请天主教高中时参加的一项入学考试。HSPT是高中入学考试的缩写。当你参加HSPT考试时,你将会参加五个独立的部分,语言技能,定量推理,阅读,数学和语言技能。每个部分都给你一定的时间。
在St.Philips,我们过去常常参加国际文凭考试,看看自己掌握了什么知识,能不能记住以前的工作。HSPT和ITBS非常相似,因为你要参加考试并在答题卡上记录答案。HSPT对我们已经学过的东西也有疑问。HSPT可以让你在你申请的学校获得奖学金。总的来说,HSPT并没有那么难,只是一个测试,所以高中可以了解你的知识。
ISEE是一项针对进入私立学校的学生的入学考试。ISEE是独立入学考试的缩写。ISEE和HSPT有相同的部分。大多数人会告诉你ISEE比HSPT更难,但是当我们做ISEE的时候,我们认为它更容易。真正起作用的是例如HSPT要求你在35分钟内回答60个问题ISEE要求你在35分钟内回答37个问题。
虽然我确实拿回了我的分数,我看,我拿了我的HSPT后,我仍然没有收到我的HSPT分数。在ISEE中,每个部分都有自己的分数,而不是一个大分数。尽管这两种考试都能帮助你获得优秀奖学金。”
