If your kid is
interested in attending an independent school, they will likely need to take
the Secondary School Admissions Test (SSAT exam) in order to apply. We have the
material you need on what not to do on the SSAT exam.

  • Don’t guess unless you can remove one or more answer
    choices as wrong.
  • Don’t rush, but keep moving. Use your time wisely by
    earning as many points as you can by answering all questions that are easy
    for you.
  • Do not waste lots of time on more tough questions.
  • Don’t lose path of where you are on your answer sheet.
  • Don’t skip the practice tests. You
    should start prepping at least four months before you plan to take the SSAT.
  • Analyze your performance: what are your strengths
    and weaknesses, and what growth will you need to see in order to
    reach your goal?
  • Take a practice test every four weeks or so and
    use them as a time to increase your familiarity with the format and
    feel of the test. Also perform a check-in to see how your trouble areas
    are progressing.
  • Don’t keep up the same test prep pace until
    you take the test. Give yourself a break.
  • Don’t take the test just once.
  • Don’t miss these official tips from the SSAT
    exam website. They include setting a pace, getting a good night’s sleep
    before the test, and starting practice early.
