|Get Ready for the SSAT| What is the SSAT?The Secondary School
Admission Test (SSAT) is a multiple-choice aptitude test for
students in grades 5-11. The test consists of verbal,
quantitative (math) and reading comprehension sections. The
verbal questions test your vocabulary, verbal reasoning, and
ability to relate ideas logically. The quantitative (math)
questions test your ability to solve problems involving
arithmetic, elementary algebra and geometry and concepts. The
reading comprehension section tests your ability to understand
what you read. All tests are printed in English. In addition,
the test includes a writing sample portion, which asks you to
respond to a topic statement. Your essay is not graded, but a
copy accompanies each SSAT score report you have sent to a
school or consultant.The SSAT is designed for students in grades
5 through 11 and is administered on two levels: · Lower (for
students currently in grades 5-7)· Upper (for students currently
in grades 8-11) Learn more at: www.ssat.org
