An expert SSAT tutor in Thornton will develop a study plan that quickly gets your child's knowledge caught up to where it needs to be to excel on all portions of the SSAT. The Elementary Level, Middle Level, and Upper Level SSATs are similar in structure and each include reading comprehension, verbal reasoning, and quantitative sections, along with an essay portion. However, the quantitative section is split into two portions on the Middle and Upper Level exams. Also, the Elementary Level exam is less lengthy (1 hour and 50 minutes) than the other two levels, which each take about 3 hours and 5 minutes to complete. Of course, each SSAT level also keeps the academic knowledge and skill expected of the age group in mind.
