If you are considering having your child apply to an elite private school, you will want to prepare them for the Secondary School Admissions Test (SSAT). This test is used by admissions committees at both private middle and high schools.
While the SSAT scores alone will not determine if a student is admitted into a private school, they help round out the student's application. The SSAT scores are combined with the student's statement, grades, and teacher's recommendations. If your child wishes to try to improve their application portfolio, there are many ways to prepare for the SSAT, including connecting with a tutor who might help your child practice all of the concepts they need to know for the test. If your child is preparing for the SSAT, Varsity Tutors' educational directors can assist you in finding an experienced tutor in Olathe, KS.
