A rehearsal, and an honest one
298 questions, 5 subtests, nothing marked until you hand it in. None of them has ever appeared in practice.
298
questions, the published make-up
Scholastic Testing Service prints the count for every section of this paper, so ours is built to it rather than to a number of ours.
143
minutes, and it hands itself in
Each section runs the standard time Scholastic Testing Service states, and the paper hands itself in when the time runs out, the way a proctor would.
298
questions held back
The paper is dealt from a pool practice cannot reach. A child who has practised every day has still never seen one of these.

Nothing is marked until the whole paper is handed in — that is what makes it a rehearsal rather than practice, and it is the skill the day actually requires. The score afterwards is a raw score and is described as one: neither publisher releases the tables that turn raw answers into the number a school sees.
The mock papers and the report
Everything else on this site stays free and needs no account: all 1,854 practice questions, every explanation, both exam pages and everything on them.
- The TACHS paper and the HSPT paper
- The report afterwards: every question, your answer, and what each wrong choice stands for
- Your weak subtest named, from what you actually answered
- Both exams, and the whole season — not a subscription
$129
That is the total. No tax added at the end, no subscription, nothing that renews.

The paper is open while this is being built, and the price above is what it will cost when it is not. Payment will be handled by Stripe; card details will never reach us.
Not sure? Then don’t. Keep practising — 1,854 questions, every explanation, no account and no card, and that is not a trial that runs out.
We are not able to tell you whether this is worth $129 to you, and the publisher of the HSPT advises parents to avoid expensive preparation materials. Try the free questions first — that is what they are there for.
