SSAT TEST PREP

The Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT) is a standardized exam used by private and independent schools to assess the academic abilities of students seeking admission from grades 3 through 11. The test measures skills in verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, reading comprehension, and includes an unscored writing sample. The SSAT is offered at three levels: Elementary (for grades 3-4), Middle (for grades 5-7), and Upper (for grades 8-11), with each level tailored to the appropriate grade range. Understanding the format and content of the SSAT is crucial for students aiming to showcase their academic strengths and secure a place at their desired school.

 

Register for a Mock Exam

Help your student pinpoint the areas in most need of improvement by taking an SSAT practice test. Students do not need to be enrolled in our program to take a practice test. The SSAT mock test provides students with the opportunity to become familiar with the format of the test, practice pacing strategies, identify content areas/skills to work on, and most importantly, to learn from their mistakes! 

We are not currently offering proctored SSAT exams at the Workshop. However, you may purchase a practice test to administer at home and send back to us for scoring.

TUTORING OPTIONS

Individual Sessions

Each weekly individual tutoring session runs for one hour and meets at the workshop. Let us know your child’s grade level, needs and interests, and we will pair him/her with the teacher who will provide the best support. 

Small Group Sessions

Often, students need support in similar areas and can benefit from small group work and collaboration to advance their skills. Students in a group tutoring session must be in the same grade and at similar levels in their studies in order for the work together to be productive. Parents may propose a group of 2–4 students, and/or we can help coordinate with other students before matching the best tutor to facilitate the weekly hour-long session.

Online Sessions

Location is no longer a barrier. No matter where you live, we can find the perfect tutor for your child. Once you’ve found that tutor, you can stick with them, wherever you are and wherever they are.
