Q: What is a good score on the HSPT? A: Standard scores range from 200-800. The average scaled score on the HSPT is 500. The average score for the Cognitive Skills Quotient is 100.
Just so, what is a good HSPT raw score?
76th to 99th percentiles are considered as high, 24th to 75th percentiles as average, and 1st to 23rd percentiles as low. The 50th percentile is regarded as a precisely average HSPT score. Therefore a good HSPT score would be above 75.

| Scoring | Each correct answer is worth one point; the raw score is converted to a score on a scale of 200-800 (like on the SAT). | Each section receives a stanine (scored out of 9) |
Also question is, how is the HSPT scored?
The HSPT is a multiple choice test. The student receives a point for every correct answer, and there are no penalties for incorrect or omitted answers. This “raw score” is then converted into a scaled score ranging from 200-800.
It's hard in the way many standardized tests are hard. The HSPT requires you to demonstrate your cognitive abilities and learned skills. One way to understand its difficulty is to compare it to another high school admissions test, the SSAT.
