HSPT
Applicants to grade 9 who choose to take the HSPT should register for the Archdiocesan High School Placement Test offered at many Catholic high schools in the Boston area on October 29, November 5, and November 19. Saint Joseph Prep Boston will administer this test on November 5, 2022. We will also offer a prep course Saturdays in October (except Saturday, October 8). Sign up for the prep course here.
Submit the $40.00 (non-refundable) testing fee, payable online at boston.stsusers.com. Payment will be made to the school where the test will be taken. Saint Joseph Prep's HSPT school code is 502. Details about the test day will be emailed to registrants as the test date approaches.
SSAT
Applicants to grade 9 who choose to take the SSAT and all applicants to other grades, should visit this link to register for the Upper Level SSAT. Test dates include October 15, November 5, and December 10. In order to have scores submitted by the December 15 application deadline, students should take the test in October or November. Students who or have previously taken the test should have scores submitted to the School. Students taking the test this fall should indicate that scores are to be sent to Saint Joseph Prep. Saint Joseph Prep's SSAT school code is 2796.
Please note that priority consideration for merit scholarships will be given to students who choose SJP as a test location for the HSPT and who indicate SJP as a first choice when taking either the HSPT or the SSAT.
