How can a tutor help your child master the SSAT?
The Secondary School Admissions Test, or SSAT, is taken by students planning on applying to certain private schools. It is a standardized method of measuring a student's preparedness for the school's curriculum. It has three separate levels: elementary, middle, and upper. Each includes four sections: quantitative, reading comprehension, verbal reasoning, and an essay. All sections but the essay count towards the final score. Although the essay is not scored, it is sent to individual schools along with your test results. If your child struggles with any of the areas tested, making a good score on the SSAT may be difficult for them. A personal SSAT tutor can help them prepare for test day. Varsity Tutors provides access to educational directors who can work with you to discover a San Diego, California, SSAT tutor for your student.
The SSAT reading comprehension section uses synonyms and analogies to test students on their reading capabilities. It also includes a number of different genres, including poetry. If reading has always been a weak point for your student, then personalized help may be a solution. A personal tutor can use test prep materials that focus on your student's areas of weakness. Through diagnostic assessments, their tutor can determine what aspects of the reading section give them the most problems and then work on those specific issues. San Diego SSAT tutoring offers students the chance to work with their tutor one-on-one on the sections that cause them issues.
