Understanding the Secondary School Admission Test
The Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT) is the premier admissions test used by independent and private schools across the United States and internationally. It assesses students' verbal, quantitative, and reading abilities to help schools identify candidates who will thrive in rigorous academic environments.
The SSAT is offered at three levels: Elementary (grades 3-4), Middle (grades 5-7), and Upper (grades 8-11). Each level is designed to appropriately challenge students while measuring the skills needed for success at the next educational stage.
Top private schools including Phillips Academy, Exeter, Choate, Deerfield, and hundreds of independent schools require or prefer SSAT scores. A strong SSAT performance significantly enhances admission prospects to these competitive institutions.
Our 1-on-1 tutoring approach focuses on building both content knowledge and test-taking strategies, ensuring students can demonstrate their full potential on test day.
