Manhattan SSAT Tutoring FAQ
Used by many private and parochial schools to measure academic ability, the SSAT, or Secondary School Admissions Test, is often one of the primary criteria for admission. The test is given in three different levels, the upper, middle, and lower. The upper level of the test is given to students in the eighth grade and above. The middle is given to students in grades five through seven, and the lower is given to students in grades three and four. While the format remains similar across all levels, the complexity of the content and questions goes up with each level. As many top-performing schools only have limited spaces available, competition is becoming increasingly fierce. To try to give your student the best opportunity for success, connect with an experienced SSAT tutor.
