What Are the SSAT and ISEE Tests?

The Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT) is a standardized test used by independent and private schools to assess the academic abilities and potential of students who are seeking admission into their programs. The test measures the student's verbal, quantitative, and reading comprehension skills, as well as their essay writing ability. There are three levels of the test: elementary (grades 3-4), middle (grades 5-7), and upper (grades 8-11). The SSAT is administered multiple times throughout the year, and it is taken by students all over the world. The scores on the SSAT are one of the factors that admissions committees consider when evaluating a student's application for admission.

The Independent School Entrance Examination (ISEE) is a standardized test used by independent and private schools for admission purposes. Like the SSAT, the ISEE assesses the academic abilities and potential of students seeking admission into their programs. The test measures a student's verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, reading comprehension, and essay writing abilities. There are four levels of the test: Primary (grades 2-4), Lower (grades 5-6), Middle (grades 7-8), and Upper (grades 9-12). The ISEE is administered multiple times throughout the year, and it is taken by students all over the world. The scores on the ISEE are one of the factors that admissions committees consider when evaluating a student's application for admission.
