Unlock Your Future
The CPS High School Admissions Test (HSAT) is the gateway to Chicago's top high schools. Your performance on this single test can define your educational path. See why preparation is everything.
A high-pressure race against the clock.
No retakes. Your first attempt is your only attempt.
Reading and Math determine your entire score.
Anatomy of the Test
The HSAT is perfectly balanced between two critical academic areas. Each section is 30 minutes long, demanding both speed and accuracy. Mastery of one is not enough; success requires excellence in both.
The Power of Practice
Knowledge alone isn't enough. True preparation builds the skills to perform under pressure. Here’s how targeted practice transforms potential into performance.
Mastering the Clock: Pacing is Key
An unprepared student often runs out of time, leaving easy points on the table. A prepared student maintains a steady pace, attempting every question.
The "Testing Effect": Learn by Doing
Scientific studies show that active recall (testing) leads to significantly better long-term memory retention than passive studying.
From Anxiety to Confidence
Test anxiety often comes from the unknown. Familiarity with the test format builds the confidence needed to perform at your best.

Study Smarter, Not Harder
Why guess where you need to improve? Practice tests act as a diagnostic tool, creating a data-driven "skill map" of your strengths and weaknesses. This allows you to focus your study time for maximum impact.
