Youll find out all about the HSPT—its purpose, where it is used, its scoring criteria, how to find out about the exam in your area, and a summary of the exam content. This chapter is also the key to the study chapters in this book—it tells you exactly which chapters you need to study to get a high score. If you are an eighth­grade student who plans to attend a private, parish, or diocesan high school, this book is for you. Entry into one of these schools is competitive— that is, more students want to enter the freshman class of a given high school than there are openings in that class. Your edge will come from knowing as much as you can about the entrance exam for the school you've chosen and from careful preparation for taking that exam. This book is designed to give you that edge. Purpose and Content of the HSPT About 1,000 schools in the United States require applicants to take the High School Placement Test (HSPT), which is the subject of this chapter. (If you live in the Archdiocese of New York, the Archdiocese of Newark, New Jer­ Page 1/2 sey, or the Diocese of Brooklyn and Rockland County, however, you will be asked to take the Cooperative Admissions Examination, or COOP, which is the subject of Chapter 2.) The HSPT is a two­and­a­half hour exam whose purpose is to see if you, as an eighth­grade student, are ready for high school. Your readiness is tested using 298 consecutively numbered questions over five skill areas: • Part 1: Verbal Skills. 60 questions in 16 minutes • Part 2: Quantitative Skills. 52 questions in 30 minutes • Part 3: Reading. 62 questions in 25 minutes • Part 4: Mathematics. 64 questions in 45 minutes • Part 5: Language Skills. 60 questions in 25 minutes The HSPT also offers optional tests in science, mechanical aptitude, and Catholic religion. The school you are applying to decides if you need to take one of these tests. Since they are not part of the regular HSPT, these optional areas are not covered in this book. Each part of the exam includes several different kinds of questions, which are listed below. You can see examples of all these kinds of questions in Chapter 4, Practice HSPT Exam 1. Part 1— Verbal Skills Verbal Analogies (10 questions): These questions test your ability to see relationships between words and concepts. You'll be given a sentence that contains a set of two words that are related, followed by a third word and four choices. Of the four choices, you will be asked to pick out the word that best completes the second set so that the second set expresses the same relationship as the first. For examples and help with answering analogy questions, see Chapter 9, Verbal Reasoning. Synonyms (15 questions): These questions test your word knowledge. You'll be given a word and asked to pick, from four choices, the word that most nearly means the same as the given word. For examples and tips, see Chapter 7, Vocabulary. Antonyms (9 questions): Like the synonym questions, these questions test your word knowledge, only this time you will be asked to pick, from four choices, the word that most nearly means the opposite of the given word. For examples and help with antonym questions, see Chapter 7, Vocabulary. Logic (10 questions): These questions test your ability to reason and think logically. You'll be asked whether, based on two statements, a third statement is true, false, or uncertain. See Chapter 9, Verbal Reasoning, for examples of logic questions and advice on how to answer them. Verbal Classification (16 questions): These questions test both your word knowledge and your verbal reasoning ability. You'll be given four words and asked to pick the one that does not belong with the others. Verbal classification questions are also covered in Chapter 9. Part 2— Quantitative Skills Number series (18 questions): These questions test your ability to reason nonverbally. You'll be given a series of numbers arranged in a set pattern and asked to pick, from four choices, the number that would logically come next in the series. For examples and help in answering number series questions, see Chapter 11, Nonverbal Reasoning. Geometric comparison (9 questions): These questions also test your ability to reason nonverbally. You will be Page 1/3 shown three geometric figures and asked quantitative questions about the figures—for example, which has more than, which has less than, or which is equal to one of four choices. Geometric comparison questions are covered in Chapter 11, Nonverbal Reasoning. Nongeometric comparison (8 questions): Again, your nonverbal reasoning skills will be tested. You'll be given three number statements and asked quantitative questions about the statements—for example, which is greater than, which is less than, or which is equal to one of four choices. These questions, too, are discussed in Chapter 11. Number manipulation (17 questions): These questions test basic math ability. You'll be asked to perform mathematical operations in order to decide which of four choices is the correct answer. For examples and discussion, see Chapter 12, Math Skills. Part 3— Reading Comprehension (40 questions): These questions test your ability to understand what you read. You will be asked to read a passage and then answer questions about it. Some of the questions will test your ability to identify facts in the passage, some will ask you to draw conclusions from what you read, and some will ask you to say what the author intended in writing the passage. For examples and tips on answering reading questions, see Chapter 6, Reading Comprehension. Vocabulary (22 questions): These questions will ask you to read a short phrase in which one of the words is underlined. From four possible choices, you will choose the word that means the same or about the same as the underlined word. Chapter 7, Vocabulary, will help you prepare for this part of the exam. Part 4— Mathematics Concepts (24 questions): These questions test your general knowledge of principles underlying math problems. You will be given a math problem and asked to select, from four choices, the general principle or rule behind it. Examples and a review of the math concepts you need are found in Chapter 12, Math Skills. Problems (40 questions): These questions test your practical math knowledge by asking you to solve mathematical problems. The math you need for these questions is also found in Chapter 12. Part 5— Language Skills Punctuation and Capitalization (12 questions): These questions test your knowledge of punctuation and capitalization in the context of a sentence. You will be presented with three sentences from which you are to pick the one with a mistake in capitalization or punctuation. If you do not find an error, you will choose a fourth option, "No mistakes." For examples of and help with the punctuation and capitalization questions, see Chapter 8, Language Skills. Usage (28 questions): These questions test your knowledge of English word usage, You'll be presented with three sentences from which you are asked to pick the one with a mistake in usage, that is, grammar, word choice, subject­verb agreement, pronoun agreement and other kinds of mistakes in English usage. If you do not find an error, you may choose a fourth option, "No mistakes." Usage questions are covered in Chapter 8, Language Skills. Spelling (10 questions): These questions test your knowledge of how to spell particular words. You'll be presented with three sentences from which you are to pick the one with a mistake in spelling.

  • Solo List and Reccomended List for 02-03-04 Ver 3
    Please read this before using this recommended guide! The following pages are being uploaded to the OSSAA webpage STRICTLY AS A GUIDE TO SOLO AND ENSEMBLE LITERATURE. In 1999 there was a desire to have a required list of solo and ensemble literature, similar to the PML that large groups are required to perform. Many hours were spent creating the following document to provide “graded lists” of literature for every instrument and voice part. The theory was a student who made a superior rating on a solo would be required to move up the list the next year, to a more challenging solo. After 2 years of debating the issue, the music advisory committee voted NOT to continue with the solo/ensemble required list because there was simply too much music written to confine a person to perform from such a limited list. In 2001 the music advisor committee voted NOT to proceed with the required list, but rather use it as “Recommended Literature” for each instrument or voice part. Any reference to “required lists” or “no exceptions” in this document need to be ignored, as it has not been updated since 2001. If you have any questions as to the rules and regulations governing solo and ensemble events, please refer back to the OSSAA Rules and Regulation Manual for the current year, or contact the music administrator at the OSSAA. 105 SOLO ENSEMBLE REGULATIONS 1. Pianos - It is recommended that you use digital pianos when accoustic pianos are not available or if it is most cost effective to use a digital piano.

STATISTICS, AND COOPERATIVES SERVICE AGRICULTURAL ECONOMIC REPORT NO. 382 ABSTRACT The quota system of regulating the production, importation, and marketing of sugar in the United States through 1974 was an outgrowth of Government regulation of the sugar trade dating from colonial times. Similar systems have developed in most other countries, particu- larly those which import sugar. The U.S. Sugar Quota System benefited domestic sugar pro- ducers by providing stable prices at favorable levels. These prices also encouraged the produc- tion and use of substitute sweeteners, particularly high fructose and glucose sirup and crystalline dextrose in various industries. But sugar is still the most widely used sweetener in the United States, although its dominant position is being increasingly threatened. KEYWORDS: Sugar, quota, preference, tariff, refined, raw, sweeteners, corn sweeteners, world trade. PREFACE This report was written in 1975 by Roy A. Ballinger, formerly an agricultural economist in the Economic Research Service. It supersedes A History of Sugar Marketing, AER-197, also by Ballinger, issued in February 1971 and now out of print. On January 1, 1978, three USDA agencies-the Economic Research Service, the Statistical Reporting Service, and the Farmer Cooperative Service-merged into a new organization, the Economics, Statistics, and Cooperatives Service.

BRITISH STRATEGY IN A CERTAIN EVENTUALITY. REPORT BY THE CHIEFS OF STAFF COMMITTEE. THE object of this paper is to investigate the means whereby we could continue tofight single-handed if French resistance were to collapse completely, involving the loss of a substantial proportion of the British Expeditionary Force, and the French Government were to make terms with Germany. The assumptions we have made are contained in Appendix A of the Annex. Of these the two most important are that:— (i) United States of America is willing to give us full economic and financial support, without which tve do not think we could continue the war with any chance of success. (ii) Italy has intervened against us. 2. In particular we have asked ourselves two questions :— (a) Could the United Kingdom hold out until assistance from the Empire and America made itself felt ? and (b) Could we ultimately bring sufficient economic pressure to bear on Germany to ensure her defeat ? We summarise our conclusions and recommendations below. As regards the latter there are a large number of measures which we consider should be carried out at once irrespective of whether a French collapse is or is not likely.
