Baltimore SSAT Tutoring FAQ
The Secondary School Admission Test is given to students seeking to attend an independent school. It is a standardized exam used to assess the student’s skills. There are three levels of the SSAT: Elementary, Middle, and Upper. The levels correspond with your student’s grade. The exam measures students’ basic verbal, math, and reading skills. If your student will be taking this exam, they will want to be prepared. Preparing for such a large exam on their own may be difficult though. A student can work with a personal tutor on their test prep. The educational directors at Varsity Tutors can help you find Baltimore, Maryland, SSAT tutoring for your student.
The SSAT is a huge test for younger students. Students taking the Elementary or Middle level exam may have never taken such an intense exam before. The exam takes over three hours to take, so students who are not adapted to maintaining focus for that long of a period may struggle. Your student can work with a SSAT tutor in Baltimore who can help them prepare for test day. They can use practice exams and a study environment similar to the actual testing conditions.
If your student has struggled in any subject in the past, then the SSAT may be difficult for them. The different sections of the exam are quantitative, verbal, reading comprehension, and an essay. They will be tested on their math skills and English skills primarily. If your student has a weakness in either of these subjects, then working with a Baltimore SSAT tutor may be a solution. Their tutor can diagnose the areas of the subject that give them the most struggle, and then prepare curriculum that focuses on improving this. If your student isn't a strong writer, the tutor can sit with them and go through common writing practices and provide them with exercises to build writing skills. Your student’s tutor can work with them on a schedule that aims to have them ready by the date of the test.
When preparing for a big exam, it is important that your child be able to meet with their tutor on a regular basis. This can be hard to do when you have a busy schedule, but the educational directors at Varsity Tutors can help you find a tutor that can meet with your student at the time and location that works for you for in person or face-to-face online SSAT tutoring in Baltimore, Maryland. Contact them today to begin searching.
