SSAT Exam Prep (In-Person & Online)

The Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT) is administered to students in grades 5-11 and now is also administered to elementary students in grades 3 and 4. This placement examination helps to discern if your child is scholastically gifted for admission into private or independent junior high and high schools.
