October SSAT Scores will come in soon:
what you need to know
In the next several days, your child's SSAT scores will come back, and after the first SSAT test of the season we always receive a great deal of calls from parents concerned about their child's test scores.
Parents tell us that their children are high-achieving and bright students who receive great grades in school, and they don't understand why they didn't perform better on the test.
The problem is, this test contains content that is
above your student's grade level, meaning there is content that your child has never seen before. This may not seem fair, but unfortunately the
test-makers have designed the test to challenge even the
most high-achieving students.
Additionally, if your child gets a wrong answer on the test, 1/4 of a point is deducted from their score.
This means that there is significant benefit to learning time-management and test-taking strategies specific to this test.
Your child can take the
test up to 8 times, and most students take the test at least twice for admission.
The next SSAT test dates are:
November 10th
December 8th
January 5th
February 2nd

Is Your Child Going to Take the ACT or SAT
Test this Fall?
Plan for your child to take a standardized test at least twice to give them the best chance of a high score.
The next SAT will be on November 3rd and then December 1st.
The next ACT will be on October 27th and then December 8th.
Our tutors have been fully trained in the new content
and test-taking strategies of both the SAT and ACT tests. We focus on time-management and customize our instruction to meet the needs of each student.
If you are not sure whether your child should take the SAT or ACT, please see the article below.
SAT vs. ACT: Choose Wisely
