The SSAT at a Glance
The Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT) is developed and administered by the Secondary School Admission Test Board (SSATB). The exam was designed as an aptitude test to measure a student's ability in core subject areas independent of a student's school record.
Your child's SSAT score will serve as an important factor in the admissions process at select, competitive elementary, middle, and high schools.
The SSAT is administered on three levels:
| Current Grade | Appropriate Test Level |
| Grades 3-4 | SSAT Elementary Level Test |
| Grades 5-7 | SSAT Middle Level Test |
| Grades 8-11 | SSAT Upper Level Test |
