Entrance Exam

Mercy offers the Scholastic High School Placement Test (HSPT) as its Entrance Exam to all incoming freshwomen for admission and placement.  Students interested in applying to Mercy for the 2012 – 2013 school year, but have not taken the exam, may take the test on Saturday, January 28, 2012 from 8:00 – 11:15 a.m.  Register Online. For further information, please contact the . Students who have taken the HSPT at another location may submit a copy of their results for acceptance and placement purposes.

Students who feel the need to prepare for this test may consider using a study guide.  The study guides are available from bookstores, online, or through local libraries.  Use the HSPT portion of the study guide (not the COOP or TACHS).  Mercy does not advocate for, or against, the use of study guides.

Only students who have taken the test at Mercy High School in the fall are eligible for Academic Scholarships based on test results.  Scholarship award recipients are notified in early January.
