The SSAT is an entrance exam for elementary, middle, and upper school students that is used to assess students’ aptitudes before admission to private and independent schools. SSAT was developed for grades three through ten.
There are many similarities between the Elementary, Middle, and Upper sections and some significant differences that will be covered in more detail.

The SSAT evaluates reading, math, and verbal abilities that private schools look for in applicants, much like the SAT for high school. As it compares people on a standardized level and does not consider their backgrounds, experiences, appearances, or gender, this assessment has proven to be extremely useful for both admissions officers and students.

Anyone applying to a private school anywhere in the world (especially in the United States and Canada) can benefit from taking the SSAT because the majority of independent schools require it for enrollment.

The test is one of many considerations, though. An independent school admissions interview, prior grades, references, and personal essays are also taken into account when evaluating an applicant.

In recent years, some private schools, especially IB schools like Mulgrave, have moved away from taking SSAT and designed their own exams. However, the exam format is more or less the same.
