Private In-Home and Online SSAT- Upper Level Tutoring
Receive personally tailored SSAT- Upper Level lessons from exceptional tutors in a one-on-one setting. We help you connect with in-home and online tutoring that offers flexible scheduling and your choice of locations.How can a SSAT- Upper Level tutor help you?
The Secondary School Admission Test, or SSAT, is used in private school admissions. The Upper Level version is designed for students who are currently in grades 8-11. The SSAT is offered throughout the year on specific dates in specific places.
There are three scored portions of the SSAT Upper Level test: Quantitative, Reading Comprehension, and Verbal. There is an unscored written component of the exam, which is given to admissions officials along with the scored portions. While it is not scored, it is important for students to do well on this section, as it gives each school an idea of how well your child is able to write. The experimental section is also not scored. It is comprised of new questions and determines their validity for future exams. Varsity Tutors can help you find an expert tutor who can lead your child through prepping for the SSAT Upper Level exam.
