Time Management on the HSPT

Making Every Minute Count

The HSPT is a timed test, so managing your time is key.

  • Skim through questions and answer the easy ones first.
  • Don’t spend too long on any one question—move on and come back if you have time.
  • Keep an eye on the clock and pace yourself for each section.

By practicing time management, you can answer more questions and reduce stress on test day.

Examples

  • Answering all the questions you know first, then returning to the harder ones.

  • Setting a timer during practice tests to get used to the pace.
