*For students who did not sit for a fall exam, you are required to sit for the Spring make-up exam.
Students wishing to be considered for admission must sit for the eighth grade scholarship/entrance exam. It is a requirement for the Class of 2022. The Fall Eighth Grade Scholarship/Entrance Exam is the basis for awarding CEC Academic Scholarships and also assists with placement. The Spring entrance exam results are only used for placement. They are not used in consideration for scholarships. It is a requirement that all students sit for either the Fall or Spring exam.

Preparing for the Test
While Scholastic Testing Services does not actively endorse any study guides, there are many helpful HSPT tools available at Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, or your local bookstore. CEC also offers a Practice Test Prep Workshop in June for students entering eighth grade the following fall, allowing CEC teachers a week to sit with students and assist with sharpening their strengths and improving upon their weaknesses for the fall entrance exam. The average increase in test score is 70 points. Be sure to register for the Scholarship Test Prep Workshop when our Summer Program schedule is announced.
