7 Best Practices to Prepare for the SSAT
The Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT) is a standardized test used by private schools to help them determine who to accept during the admission process. Private schools are highly selective and are only able to accept a certain number of students. Due to the variation of standards between public schools, basing admission on the applicant’s public school GPA is inherently flawed. This led to the development of the SSAT to gauge an applicant’s understanding of core concepts and abilities. Using this information, along with other factors such as extra-curricular activities and community involvement, private schools determine whom to accept as students. By following the seven best practices to prepare for the SSAT below you can ensure you put your best foot forward when applying to a private school.
