The SSAT test is divided into two types: the lower grade (candidates in grades 5-7) and the upper grade (candidates in grades 8-1/kloc-0). The examination mainly measures students' abilities of mathematics, Chinese and reading comprehension, and examines candidates' logical thinking and development potential.
Some top American private high schools still have high requirements for SSAT scores, such as Patty Middle School and Adolf Phillips College, which require applicants to have SSAT scores above 90%. It is worth noting that for the same percentage, different grades have different scores. For example, the SSAT score should reach 90%, and an eighth-grade student can reach more than 2,200 points; Compared with a student in grade 10, the score should be above 2300. Therefore, a high SSAT score can improve your competitiveness and help you easily cross the high threshold of American high schools.
The SSAT exam is very difficult, but the well-known alumni and the high probability of being admitted to Ivy League universities are the conditions to lure students. Therefore, for China students who are going to study in American high schools and want to study in American Ivy League universities in the future, they must be prepared in advance.
