Question Posted Saturday October 4 2008, 3:37 pm

i just took a high school entrance exam today.
i didn't get most questions,so i just guessed on them and filled in random bubbles.

Hello there,

Just like most any other test, you are graded on what you got right. Naturally anything you got wrong, isn't right. This includes failure to completes (blanks.)

Here is a little blurb about the High School Placement Test (HSPT:)

"Your HSPT score is based on the number of questions you answer correctly. Your raw score (the number correct out of the total number of questions) is converted to standard scores that range from 200 to 800."

I hope you don't mind some advice you didn't ask for, but I really have to tell you that cheating/guessing on the High School Placement Test (HSPT) is a really bad idea, and you should confess at once that you just guessed.

Many people do this, and simply retake the test.

This test is to see what you need help with. That is the primary thing anyone cares about.

Let us say that you guessed at some high level math and got it right! Yay for you! Guess what? Now you are going to be in a math class where you have NO idea what is going on and will probably fail. This happens all the time.

Please re-take the test. It is a lot better than failing your classes because they are too hard, and having such poor grades you can't even get into community college. :-)

Trust me, if you don't come clean on this it will do bad things to the rest of your life.

Thanks for doing the right thing on your High School Placement Test (HSPT.)
