Entrance Exam (HSPT) & Merit Scholarship Exam
At this point in time, Immaculate Heart is still planning to administer the HSPT as part of our application process. We understand that the situation is constantly changing and will make adjustments to ensure the safety of our students.

Students must take the Entrance Exam (HSPT) at Immaculate Heart on Saturday, January 16, 2021 to be considered for merit scholarships and the Scholastic Achievement Certificate.
- Merit scholarships, in the form of tuition reduction, will be awarded to select incoming ninth graders who qualify based on their scores on the Entrance Examination (HSPT).
- Students who earn a composite score of 90 or above on the Entrance Examination (HSPT) will receive a Scholastic Achievement Certificate.
- The HSPT will also determine placement in honors English, science, and social studies classes. Honors and upper level placement tests in math and foreign language will be administered in May.
- Upon receipt of your application and application fee, a place will be reserved for you at the Entrance Exam (HSPT) on Saturday, January 16, 2021 at no additional cost - no reservations are required.
Alternatively, students may take the ISEE (Testing Code: 571057) in lieu of the HSPT Entrance Exam - additional fees will apply from ERB. Please check www.erblearn.org/ISEE for testing sites and dates. Immaculate Heart must receive ISEE scores no later than January 31, 2021.
