Alle 15 spørgsmål i overblik

Vil du hellere læse, før du går i gang? Alle spørgsmål i smagsprøven står herunder. Svar og forklaringer er foldet sammen, indtil du åbner dem.

1. 1. Which word means the same as "frugal"?

   • A. Wasteful
   • B. Thrifty
   • C. Cheerful
   • D. Clumsy
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: B. Thrifty

   Frugal describes someone who spends carefully and avoids waste, which is what thrifty means. Wasteful is the opposite. On a synonym item, test each choice by dropping it into a sentence: a frugal shopper and a thrifty shopper behave the same way.

2. 2. Which word means the opposite of "timid"?

   • A. Shy
   • B. Quiet
   • C. Bold
   • D. Afraid
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: C. Bold

   Timid means lacking courage, so its opposite is bold. Shy and afraid are close to timid in meaning, which makes them the usual trap on an opposites item: always re-read the question for the word opposite before you choose.

3. 3. Sock is to foot as glove is to ___.

   • A. Winter
   • B. Wool
   • C. Finger
   • D. Hand
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: D. Hand

   A sock is worn on a foot, and a glove is worn on a hand. Say the relationship out loud before you look at the choices: an item and the body part it covers. Wool describes what a sock or glove may be made of, and a finger is only part of the hand.

4. 4. Maya is older than Leo. Leo is older than Priya. Dev is older than Maya. Which statement must be true?

   • A. Dev is the oldest of the four
   • B. Leo is the youngest of the four
   • C. Maya is the oldest of the four
   • D. Priya is older than Dev
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: A. Dev is the oldest of the four

   Chain the statements into one line from oldest to youngest: Dev, then Maya, then Leo, then Priya. That makes Dev the oldest and Priya the youngest. The other three choices each contradict that order.

5. 5. Which words belong in the same group as oak, maple and birch? Select all that apply.

   Vælg alle, der passer.

   • A. Granite
   • B. Willow
   • C. Fern
   • D. Cedar
   • E. Pine
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: B. Willow, D. Cedar, E. Pine

   Oak, maple and birch are trees, and so are willow, cedar and pine. Granite is a rock. A fern is a plant, but it is not a tree, so it sits just outside the group. Name the category first and then test each word against it.

6. 6. Complete the number series.

   3, 6, 12, 24, _____

   Muligheder for felt 1: 30, 36, 48, 54

   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: 48

   Each number is double the one before it: 3 doubled is 6, 6 doubled is 12, 12 doubled is 24, so 24 doubled is 48. Check the first two or three gaps before you trust a rule. Adding 3 would fit the first step but fail the second.

7. 7. Quantity A is three fourths of 40. Quantity B is 0.7 times 40. Quantity C is 25 percent of 120. Which statement is true?

   • A. A is greater than both B and C
   • B. B is the greatest of the three
   • C. A and C are equal, and both are greater than B
   • D. All three quantities are equal
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: C. A and C are equal, and both are greater than B

   Work out each one: three fourths of 40 is 30, 0.7 times 40 is 28, and 25 percent of 120 is 30. So A and C are both 30 and B is 28. When the values sit this close, estimating is not enough and you have to calculate each one.

8. 8. If you double a number and then subtract 5, the result is 17. What is the number?

   • A. 6
   • B. 11
   • C. 12
   • D. 22
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: B. 11

   Work backward: undo the subtraction by adding 5 to get 22, then undo the doubling by halving to get 11. Check it: 11 doubled is 22, and 22 minus 5 is 17. The choice 22 is the trap for anyone who stops after the first step.

9. 9. Which expressions have a value of 12? Select all that apply.

   Vælg alle, der passer.

   • A. 3 times 4
   • B. 20 minus 9
   • C. 2 times 6
   • D. 5 plus 6
   • E. 36 divided by 3
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: A. 3 times 4, C. 2 times 6, E. 36 divided by 3

   Three times four is 12, two times six is 12, and 36 divided by 3 is 12. Twenty minus nine is 11 and five plus six is 11, so both fall one short. When several answers can be right, check every choice and do not stop at the first match.

10. 10. Read the passage: "The town library used to close at five o'clock, so students who stayed late for sports could never use it. This fall it began staying open until eight on weekdays. Since the change, the number of teenagers borrowing books has doubled, and the librarian says the quiet evening hours have become the busiest of the day." Which conclusion is best supported by the passage?

    • A. Later hours made the library easier for students to use
    • B. Students no longer play sports
    • C. The library now closes earlier on weekends
    • D. Teenagers read more than adults
    Vis svar og forklaring

    Svar: A. Later hours made the library easier for students to use

    The passage links the longer weekday hours to a doubling in teenage borrowing, so the best-supported conclusion is that the later closing time helped students reach the library. The other choices bring in facts the passage never mentions, such as weekends or adults.

11. 11. Read the sentence: "When the coach saw the mistake, her reply was terse: 'Again.'" What does "terse" most nearly mean?

    • A. Loud and angry
    • B. Long and detailed
    • C. Gentle and kind
    • D. Brief and to the point
    Vis svar og forklaring

    Svar: D. Brief and to the point

    The coach answers with a single word, and the sentence itself shows the meaning: terse speech is short and direct. Nothing in the quote suggests shouting, a long explanation or a soft tone.

12. 12. A shirt costs $18 and a pair of socks costs $4.50. What is the total cost of 2 shirts and 3 pairs of socks?

    • A. $40.50
    • B. $45.00
    • C. $49.50
    • D. $54.00
    Vis svar og forklaring

    Svar: C. $49.50

    Two shirts cost 2 times 18, which is $36, and three pairs of socks cost 3 times 4.50, which is $13.50. Together that is $49.50. The choice $45.00 comes from buying only two pairs of socks, so re-read the quantities before you multiply.

13. 13. Solve the equation.

    If 3x + 7 = 28, then x = _____.

    Muligheder for felt 1: 5, 7, 9, 21

    Vis svar og forklaring

    Svar: 7

    Subtract 7 from both sides to get 3x = 21, then divide both sides by 3 to get x = 7. Plug it back in to check: 3 times 7 is 21, and 21 plus 7 is 28.

14. 14. Which of the following sentences are punctuated correctly? Select all that apply.

    Vælg alle, der passer.

    • A. Before the game, we stretched for ten minutes.
    • B. My brother who lives in Denver, called last night.
    • C. She packed a sweater, a water bottle, and a map.
    • D. The team won; they celebrated all night.
    • E. Its time to go home.
    Vis svar og forklaring

    Svar: A. Before the game, we stretched for ten minutes., C. She packed a sweater, a water bottle, and a map., D. The team won; they celebrated all night.

    A comma follows the introductory phrase in the first sentence, commas separate the items in the list in the third, and a semicolon joins two complete thoughts in the fourth. The second has a stray comma between the subject and its verb, and the last needs the contraction it's, meaning it is.

15. 15. Complete the sentence.

    The students handed in _____ projects before the deadline.

    Muligheder for felt 1: they're, their, there, theirs

    Vis svar og forklaring

    Svar: their

    The word you need shows that the projects belong to the students, which is the possessive their. They're means they are, there points to a place, and theirs would have to stand alone, as in the projects are theirs.

Hvad der er på HSPT

High School Placement Test, eller HSPT, udgives af Scholastic Testing Service (STS) og tages af elever i 8. klasse, som søger ind på mange katolske og andre private high schools. Det er en prøve, som skolen selv afholder: high schoolen fastsætter datoen, afholder prøven og afgør, hvad den bruger resultaterne til, så tilmelding går som regel gennem skolen og ikke gennem STS.

Kerneprøven har fem dele. Verbale og kvantitative færdigheder måler ræsonnement, og læsning, matematik og sprog måler det, du har lært i timerne. Kursusudbydere og stiftssider rapporterer i alt 298 spørgsmål: Verbal 60 spørgsmål på 16 minutter, Kvantitativ 52 på 30 minutter, Læsning 62 på 25 minutter, Matematik 64 på 45 minutter og Sprog 60 på 25 minutter, hvilket giver omkring 2 timer og 21 minutters prøve uden pauser. Verbal er den del, der overrasker folk, fordi 60 spørgsmål på 16 minutter giver 16 sekunder til hvert.

Nogle ting varierer, så betragt tallene ovenfor som det sædvanlige mønster, og tjek din skoles eget brev. Skoler kan tilføje valgfrie dele som naturfag og katolsk religion, og dem tæller man ikke med i den samlede score. STS rapporterer resultater som standardscorer, nationale og lokale percentiler og klassetrinsækvivalenter, og hver skole afgør selv, hvad den kræver til optagelse, placering eller stipendier. Der er ingen enkelt grænse, der gælder alle steder. STS siger også, at der ikke trækkes point for forkerte svar, så på den rigtige prøve besvarer du hvert spørgsmål.

Sådan bruger du smagsprøven

De 15 spørgsmål rører ved alle fem dele: fem verbale opgaver (synonymer, modsætninger, analogier, logik og ordgrupper), fire kvantitative opgaver (en talrække, sammenligning af størrelser og talpuslespil), to læseopgaver, to matematikopgaver og to sprogopgaver. Den rigtige prøve har langt mere matematik, læsning og sprog end denne side, så brug den til at finde ud af, hvilken slags spørgsmål der føles langsom, ikke til at forudsige en score.

Tag den én gang uden ur, og læs hver forklaring, også til de spørgsmål, du svarede rigtigt på. Hvis du så vil mærke tempoet, så giv dig selv 80 sekunder til de fem verbale spørgsmål, som er den rigtige prøves tid per spørgsmål skaleret til fem opgaver. Hvis tiden løber ud på spørgsmål, du kunne have svaret på, er det hastigheden, der er problemet. Hvis du løber tør for idéer, er det indholdet.

Når du er færdig, så se på, hvilken del der kostede dig mest, og spørg din skole, hvad den vægter. Nogle high schools lægger mest vægt på den samlede score, andre ser nøje på matematik og læsning, og nogle få bruger resultaterne mest til at placere dig på et kursusniveau.

Sådan bygger StudyPDF fulde øveprøver ud fra dit eget materiale

Femten spørgsmål kan vise dig, hvilke dele der er usikre. De kan ikke gøre dig klar alene, og et generisk sæt spørgsmål ved ikke, hvad din skole har gennemgået, eller hvilke fejl du bliver ved med at lave.

StudyPDF tager i stedet udgangspunkt i dit materiale. Du uploader din forberedelsesbog, det øvehæfte, din skole har delt ud, eller dine egne noter, trykker på Nyt materiale, og StudyPDF bygger øveprøver ud fra præcis de sider. Hvert spørgsmål bygger på dit materiale, og hver forklaring henviser til, hvor svaret kommer fra. Du behøver ikke uploade noget for at komme i gang: du kan også bare nævne et emne, som brøker og forhold eller analogier, så sætter Bo det op med dets nøglebegreber, og du kan bygge materialer ud fra det. Det er gratis at starte.
