What is the SSAT and
Why it Matters
The Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT) is the gold‑standard assessment used by leading U.S. and international private schools to gauge academic readiness. Strong scores open doors to top day and boarding programs.
Year‑Round Testing Options
Because private‑school application timelines vary, the SSAT is available in multiple formats throughout the year. Understanding the differences lets you pick a date and testing environment that fits your family’s calendar and your child’s preparation level.
