How can a tutor help your child master the SSAT?
The SSAT is administered to students in grades 4-12 who are hoping to attend private schools. The exam has three levels: elementary, middle, and upper. Each exam has four sections: quantitative, reading comprehension, verbal reasoning, and an essay. The difficulty and length of the exam is adjusted to the grade level, but as a whole, the exam tests students on a summary of what they've learned in school up to the exam. If your student struggles in any of these areas or needs a refresher, they can work with a personal tutor to prepare for the SSAT. With the help of the educational directors at Varsity Tutors, you can find an SSAT tutor in New York City, New York, who can help your student with their test preparation.
Your student's SSAT score is based on the multiple-choice questions in the math, reading, and verbal sections. The essay is not scored but is instead sent to schools so that they can assess the student's writing skills. This means that your student's writing skills can be an important factor, as the school of choice will be reading the exact wording of your student. If your child struggles in writing, then SSAT tutoring in New York City could be an excellent solution. A personal tutor can work individually with your student to analyze their current writing ability and pinpoint the areas where they need the most help. Every grade level has a different set of expectations for students' writing abilities, and your student's tutor can compare them to these standards and discover where improvements need to occur.
