Schaumburg SSAT Tutoring FAQ
The Secondary School Admissions Test, or SSAT, is a challenging step toward admission into a private middle or senior high school. Students must do well to be able to have their application considered. This could be a stressful time for your child. Depending on their grade level, they are going to take the Elementary (grades 3-4), Middle (grades 5-7), or Upper (grade 8 or more) Level SSAT. Acing the Quantitative, Reading Comprehension, and Verbal Reasoning sections requires practice. As well as these, there is an unscored essay that is sent to prospective schools. It is safe to express that you want your student to score as high as possible, which might require outside help. Varsity Tutors can help you connect with a private tutor in Schaumburg, Illinois, who is able to assist your youngster in understanding the SSAT.
Whether your student takes the SSAT during one of the monthly dates from October through April or in June, they need to prepare in advance to maximize their odds of success. The Elementary Level test alone is an hour and 50 minutes long. Higher-level students are tested even more, with an exam that clocks in at just over three hours. Studying alone might lead to missed opportunities, such as the opportunity to take relevant timed practice tests, use quality study materials, and develop vocabulary. Test prep classes cover a lot of ground, but don't focus specifically on your child's needs. Fortunately, help is out there. Contact Varsity Tutors for assistance in connecting your student with SSAT tutors near Schaumburg.
Tutors know how busy your child is, particularly if they are candidates for private school. We'll find your son or daughter a private SSAT tutor in Schaumburg, IL, who is extremely flexible and will work with their schedule. The tutor will meet after school and after your child finishes their homework. It's also possible to meet on the weekend, or whenever tutoring will not conflict with alternative activities. Your child could be rather anxious during this time period, so the tutor can meet at their home, in case your student is more content. Libraries will also be suitable locations. Some students are comfortable with face-to-face learning on the Internet, via a live learning platform, which a tutor is equipped to do.
The SSAT is long. Students in grades 5 or over must sit for over three hours, which can be a real challenge. Your kid's tutor will offer practice tests so they are familiar with the format come test day. They can provide methods for answering questions and reading them correctly. There are numerous things to consider. Varsity Tutors can help your student connect with a professional SSAT tutor in Schaumburg, IL, and strive to ensure they know very well what to expect in the test room.
