Overview

Placement Tests
HSPT and Challenge Exams

HSPT

The High School Placement Test (HSPT) is a standardized test used by all Catholic Schools. 

The 2025 HSPT will be in-person on the Jesuit Sacramento campus. Students will choose their test date during the application process. There is a $50 application fee which is due at the time of submission and confirms an applicant’s seat for the test.​

Challenge Tests

Challenge tests allow us to understand a student’s comprehension of a subject before permitting a jump to an accelerated or higher-level course. 

Once your son has been accepted to Jesuit, you may sign up for one or more challenge tests through the registration process in Final Forms. Challenge tests occur in the morning and are available for Math, World Languages, Science and English.
