What is the SSAT, and why is it important?

The SSAT is a standardized test required by many U.S. private schools. It evaluates math, reading, and verbal skills. For international students, it offers admissions officers a familiar benchmark and often plays a major role in admissions decisions.

For highly regarded private institutions like Harker, Woodside Priory, The College Preparatory School, and Stanford Online High School, a strong SSAT score can significantly boost your application profile. A high score demonstrates academic readiness and a student’s potential to thrive in a rigorous academic environment. Excelling on the SSAT will help your child stand out in the admissions process.
