CPS HSAT After The Test (Now What?): The Student 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
You did it.
You just finished one of the most important tests of your life so far — the CPS High School Admissions Test (HSAT). Whether it felt easy, confusing, stressful, or somewhere in between, one thing is certain: you showed up and gave it your best.
Now what?
This journal is here to guide you through what comes next — the long (and sometimes strange) journey from Test Day to Results Day to Accept/Decline Day. That journey usually lasts about six months, and it comes with a rollercoaster of thoughts, emotions, decisions, and discoveries.
But here’s the good news: you don’t have to just sit and wait. You can grow, reflect, and stay grounded while your future unfolds.

🧭 What This Journal Is
This journal is your space. Not your teacher’s. Not your parent’s. Yours.
It’s here to help you:
💭 Reflect on your thoughts and feelings
🎯 Set goals and stay focused
😌 Manage stress and pressure
🧠 Stay mentally sharp and emotionally steady
🗺 Prepare for big decisions when they come
Even though you won’t know the exact dates of results or decisions yet, this journal follows a phase-based structure instead of a calendar. You’ll move through six key phases:
Test Day (Day 0) – A moment to breathe and debrief
The Reset (Days 1–14) – Reflection, recovery, and resetting
The Waiting Game (Days 15–119) – Growth, learning, and patience
Results Day – A space to respond honestly when scores arrive
The Big Choice – Thinking clearly before you accept or decline
Looking Ahead – Making peace with the outcome and planning forward
📝 How to Use This Journal
Use one page per day for 180 days.
Every 7 days, you’ll get a Weekly Check-in to look back and look ahead.
Every 30 days, you’ll get a Monthly Reflection to assess where you are.
You’ll also find special milestone pages like “Results Day Reflection” and “My Final Decision.”
Each page gives you space to:
Track your mood
Capture what’s on your mind
Celebrate wins (even small ones)
Let go of worries
Refocus
You don’t have to write perfectly. You just have to be honest.
This is your journey. And no matter what school you get into, you’re building resilience, self-awareness, and maturity — the kind that will take you far beyond high school.
