The SSAT, Secondary School Admissions Test, is a standardized test used by many private schools as a measure of academic ability. It is often one of the main criteria for acceptance into highly selective schools, and is given at three different levels. The elementary level is given to 3rd and 4th graders; the middle to grades 5-7, and the upper to grades 8 and up. It is broken up into four sections, which are reading comprehension, quantitative, verbal reasons, and an unscored essay that is sent to the school of intended admission. As competition into these schools is becoming increasingly intense, getting a good score on the SSAT could help your student stand out from the pack. Having a tutor can give your student the edge they need to get the best score possible.
The tutors whom Varsity Tutors could help you find in Hillsboro are experienced professionals, skilled in working to help students try to understand the intricacies of the SSAT.
