Riverside SSAT Tutoring FAQ
If you plan on enrolling your child in a private middle or high school, they may have to take the SSAT, or Secondary School Admission Test, as part of their acceptance process. This test has four sections: quantitative reasoning, reading comprehension, verbal reasoning, and an unscored writing essay. The test takes more than three hours for the middle and upper levels, and almost two hours for the elementary level, which is for students entering grades three and four.
Faced with such a comprehensive and lengthy test, it is easy for a child to feel overwhelmed, especially if their acceptance to their new school depends on their getting good scores. A tutor will certainly help ease your child's anxiety. Varsity Tutors can help you find an experienced SSAT tutor in Riverside who can try to help your child attain success by creating a study plan that is focused on them.

They can come to any location of your choosing and study sessions can always be scheduled at a time that works for you and your child.
