Although the SSAT is less well-known than the ACT or SAT, its function is the same. Your SSAT score will become a major factor in any boarding school admission decision, especially at the more competitive schools, so preparing for it is wise.
An 18-year-old woman in above-average physical condition, for example, typically has a normal pulse rate between 66 and 69 beats per minute. This range changes only 1 to 2 beats a minute over the years, and returns to the 66 to 69 beat baseline for women 65 years or older in above-average condition.
The heart has a rhythm that is regulated by electrical signals which are sent across the tissues of the heart. When at rest, the normal heart rate for an adult woman is 60 to 100 beats a minute, according to Mayoclinic.com. A heart rate over 100 beats a minute should be discussed with your doctor.
