New Brunswick SSAT Tutoring FAQ
Scoring well on the Secondary School Admissions Test (SSAT) is pivotal if your child wishes to attend a private middle school or high school. There are different levels of the SSAT depending on what grade your child is currently in. The exams can be taken anywhere from grade three to eleven. All three levels (elementary, middle, and upper) of the SSAT consist of four sections, including verbal reasoning, reading comprehension, quantitative, and an essay. Given that the test encompasses such a broad range of subjects, it is likely that even the best students will find themselves struggling with some aspect of the exam. If your child is preparing for the SSAT, let the educational directors at Varsity Tutors connect him or her with a tutor in New Brunswick, NJ.
