Our Admissions Test (HSPT) covers Math, English and Reading, and is used as one of the criteria for evaluating prospective students. Having an HSPT test score on file is an Admissions requirement. While we do accept scores from other schools, we strongly encourage prospective students to take a test at Saint Ignatius.
Students who take the Practice Admissions Test will have the option to use their score for admissions and merit scholarship consideration.
