The High School Placement Test (HSPT) is required of all incoming 9th graders for admission to Bishop Gorman High School. We will hold testing on the following dates here at Bishop Gorman High School.
Check-in begins at 8 am and testing will be completed by 12:30 pm. Applicants who test on one of the aforementioned dates are considered part of our first pool of applicants.
The HSPT is administered by Scholastic Testing Services. There are 5 sections: Verbal, Quantitative, Reading, Math, and Language. In addition, there will be an Essay section. Testers should expect the testing to last 3-4 hours.
If you live outside of the Las Vegas area and are making arrangements to take the High School Placement Test elsewhere please contact our Admissions Office at admissions@bishopgorman.org
