Frequently asked questions
Do Philadelphia-area tutors help with the PSSA and Keystone Exams?
Pennsylvania public school students take the PSSA in English language arts and math in grades 3–8, with science in grades 4 and 8. In high school, students take Keystone Exams in Algebra I, Literature and Biology. Under Pennsylvania's Act 158, Keystone scores are one of several pathways to meet graduation requirements rather than the only one. Most centers and tutors here teach to grade-level standards; ask how a provider lines sessions up with your child's school curriculum.
What about New Jersey state tests for Cherry Hill, Moorestown and Marlton students?
New Jersey public school students take the New Jersey Student Learning Assessments (NJSLA) in English language arts and math, plus NJSLA science in certain grades. High school graduation testing rules in New Jersey have changed in recent years, so check your district or the New Jersey Department of Education for the current requirements before planning test-specific prep.
Can a tutor help with private and Catholic high school admissions tests?
Yes. Independent schools in the region generally use the ISEE or SSAT, and Archdiocesan Catholic high schools use the HSPT. Several providers listed here, including Premier College Prep, MJ Test Prep and Advantage Testing, say on their own sites that they offer ISEE, SSAT and/or HSPT prep. Check each school's current admissions requirements, since some have made tests optional.
How do Philadelphia's special admission high schools fit in?
The School District of Philadelphia runs a citywide selection process for its criteria-based high schools, and the district has revised that process several times in recent years. Check the district's current School Selection information for this year's criteria and deadlines before planning any prep, and ask a tutor how their program fits the current process rather than an older one.
Are there free tutoring or writing programs in the area?
Some. Mighty Writers, a nonprofit founded in 2009, says all of its programs are free and runs a Northeast Philadelphia location on Leiper Street, plus sites in Camden and Kennett. Public libraries and school districts also run homework help programs, so ask your local branch or school counselor what is offered this year.
