Philadelphia SSAT Tutoring FAQ
Students today are finding standardized tests to be the norm all throughout their academic careers. For many private and Catholic school students, this process starts with the SSAT, or the Secondary School Admissions Test. The SSAT is used to measure a student's academic abilities and placement in middle and high school, and can be even be used to determine a student's admittance to an institution.
The SSAT is offered every month between October through April, and again in the month of June. It is offered to students in grades 3-11, and has three different levels: Elementary, Middle, and Upper. The time of the test varies based on the test level taken, but it is anywhere between two to three hours. Students are evaluated in four different areas, including reading comprehension, quantitative, verbal reasoning, and an essay section.
If your child is preparing for the SSAT, Varsity Tutors can assist you in finding an experienced tutor in Philadelphia, PA.
