CPS HSAT After The Test (Now What?) The Parent Companion Journal
THIS IS A DOWNLOADABLE E-BOOK PDF. PURCHASE DOES NOT GRANT ACCESS TO THE ONLINE PRACTICE TESTS. THE ONLINE PRACTICE TESTS HAVE DIFFERENT QUESTIONS AND OFFER REAL-TIME PRACTICE LIKE THE REAL TEST.
👋 Welcome
Your child just finished the CPS High School Admissions Test — a huge milestone, one that took effort, preparation, and courage.
Now begins the waiting.
This journal is your companion during that 6-month period between test day and final decisions — a stretch of time filled with unknowns, hopes, conversations, and sometimes doubt. You might be wondering:
Did we do enough?
What happens if the scores aren’t what we hoped for?
How do we support them without adding pressure?
Are we ready for all the choices ahead?
This journal is here to help you stay centered, present, and proactive as you support your child through the emotional and logistical weight of the months ahead.
356 Pages
🧭 What This Journal Is
This is a space for you — to process your own thoughts and support your child from a grounded place.
You’ll be guided through six key phases:
Test Day (Day 0) – A space to reflect on how the day went
The Calm Anchor (Days 1–14) – Two weeks of daily check-ins to stay emotionally steady
The Research Phase (Days 15–119) – Weekly and monthly check-ins to help you plan, not panic
Results Day – A structured space to process whatever news comes
The Decision Window – Tools and reflections to guide your family toward clarity
Transition & Pride – Looking forward to what comes next
📝 How to Use This Journal
Complete one page per day for 180 days.
Every 7 days, use the Weekly Reflection to document key conversations, observations, and progress.
Every 30 days, use the Monthly Pulse Check to track major steps, worries, and decisions.
Dedicated milestone pages (like “Results Day” and “Decision Day”) are clearly marked and ready when you need them.
Each page invites you to:
Observe your child’s mood and behavior
Reflect on your own emotional responses
Record helpful actions and reminders
Practice self-care (because your steadiness matters)
🧩 Why It Matters
This process is not just about a test. It’s about a transition — one that will shape how your child sees themselves, their opportunities, and their resilience.
They will look to you. Sometimes silently. Sometimes with questions. This journal helps you show up for them — calmly, thoughtfully, and with care.
Let’s walk this journey together — one day at a time.
