CPS PreACT 9 Mock Test Prep: Self-Paced Practice Full-Length Practice Tests (Self-Paced, No Live Classes) .

The CPS HSAT has been replaced by the new PreACT 9 Secure — a longer, four-section test that now influences both selective enrollment admissions AND high school placement decisions across all CPS high schools. Get your child a full-length practice test today.

Due to CPS's recent announcement replacing the HSAT with the new PreACT 9 Secure, you're getting two mock tests for the price of one — HSAT today, and the full PreACT 9 Secure by June 19.

CPS announced the PreACT 9 just weeks before its release. While our team finalizes the brand-new Science section, your child can begin today with our HSAT mock — which covers the same Reading and Math foundations as the PreACT 9. The full 2 hour 35 minute, 4-section PreACT 9 Diagnostic — including Science — will be added to your account automatically. No extra steps. No extra charge.
