Practice High School Entrance Exam


Notre Dame High School, Fairfield will be offering a practice entrance exam for seventh-grade students in May 2024. Please visit this page again for the date which will be published in March. If you would like to be on our mailing list to receive the date, please complete an inquiry form and we will let you know as soon as the date is released. Thank you!

The pre-HSPT is a seventh-grade edition of the HSPT, the entrance exam used at most area private high schools for students applying for grade nine admission.  (The official HSPT is taken in the fall of a student's eighth-grade year.)


The pre-HSPT is designed as a practice test to allow students to become

 familiar with the HSPT and its format.

Notre Dame High School, Fairfield

$50 testing fee
