Practice Tests

A few years ago, Newsweek published the results of a study under the headline: TAKING THE SAT IN A CROWDED ROOM MEANS LOWER SCORES. We would amend this, adding that this is mostly true for kids who have not practiced taking tests in rooms full of other kids. For this reason, Archimedes Academics offers diagnostic tests so that students can take an actual exam in the company of other students with proctors, timed sessions, and a perfectly simulated, test-taking environment. We offer practice HSPTs, ISEEs, SATs, and ACTs. We also thoroughly analyze students’ exams, break down students’ strengths and weaknesses, and share results and recommendations for a preparation plan with parents.

In January 2025, we wrapped another record year of supporting HSPT prep students as they built confidence and achieved their goals. We’re excited to announce that we’re offering our next group practice test of the year on Saturday, April 26th from 9am-noon in Altadena.
The HSPT (High School Placement Test) is not only paramount to high school admissions, merit scholarship awards, and placement in freshman year classes, but is also a tool to help educators and parents confirm that a student is high-school ready. Practice tests help provide a baseline understanding of a student’s knowledge and skills, identify any content gaps or opportunities for growth, and allow parents and tutors to effectively tailor a study plan.
