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.
Any female over 10 years of age should fall within this resting pulse rate range, unless they are well-trained athletically. In this situation, the normal resting heart rate can be as low as 40 to 60 beats per minute, maintains MayoClinic.com.
