The Open High School Placement Test is available for school purchase. An earlier edition of the Closed HSPT®, it is scored locally with the Open HSPT® School Scoring Kit which includes norm tables. The Open HSPT® provides national normative measures in the following cognitive and basic skills areas: verbal and quantitative skills, reading, mathematics, and language. It is available in large print. Schools can purchase additional tests in the areas of science, mechanical aptitude, or Catholic religion.
Cognitive skills quotients (CSQs), standard scores, national and local percentiles, as well as grade equivalents are standard features of Open HSPT® reports. The Rasch Item-Response Theory one-parameter model is used to develop the standard score scale and enables reliable year-to-year comparisons to be made.
