This Kindle eBook only contains SSAT Upper Level READING selections and questions. The actual SSAT Upper Level contains Math, Verbal and Writing sections as well, but this eBook does NOT cover those sections.

This Kindle eBook is intended for use by current EIGHTH, NINTH and TENTH graders applying for private schools that require the SSAT Upper.

SSAT Upper Level readings (40 Questions â€“ 40 Minutes) include narratives (excerpts from novels / short stories / poetry) and essays. Passages are also drawn from humanities (arts / biographies / poetry), social science (history / economics / sociology) and science (medicine / astronomy / zoology).

The four main types of Reading questions are:
â€“ Identifying the Main Idea ( Authorâ€™s Purpose / Best Title )
â€“ Locating Details
â€“ Drawing Inferences
â€“ Identifying Tone or Mood

In our experience, SSAT Upper Level reading selections and questions are comparable to high school graduate equivalency and sometimes college entrance standardized reading tests. Therefore, students should take their time at first and always look back to the passage for answers. With adequate practice, all students can become proficient at answering the main types of SSAT reading questions.

What is the purpose of these 6 SSAT Upper Level READING Practice Tests?

A pervasive characteristic of SSAT private school admission exams is that they are very difficult, oftentimes featuring test questions one to four grade levels above your childâ€™s current public or private school curriculum. The SSAT targets a small, highly competitive group of students applying for top private schools across the nation.

Using our years of experience developing training guides for a national test preparation company, we have created SSAT study materials that closely approximate the sequence, scope, phrasing and difficulty level of actual exams. We have accomplished this through years of meticulous research into individual SSAT test questions and through information acquired from former test participants.

The practice tests, used at schools and tutorial centers, show you how to compute your childâ€™s Raw Score and identify its corresponding Scaled Score which can be compared (if available) to the average SSAT scaled score ranges of students admitted to a top private school near you. Thousands of applicants have worked through the 240 SSAT Upper Level Reading practice problems contained within this Kindle eBook to enhance their candidacies in the private school admission process.

How do I use this Kindle eBook?

Administer the practice tests to your child, keeping in mind the time constraints for each section. Students are PENALIZED one-fourth point for each incorrect response. Therefore, on an actual SSAT exam, all unsolvable questions should be skipped. Wild guessing is arguably the greatest contributor to low scores.

Some parents choose not to time their child at first. Instead, they allow for an adjustment period to become accustomed to the style and difficulty level of the Reading selections and questions. Have your child attempt all unfinished problems. The parent or tutor should review all incorrect responses with the child.

Use the Answer Keys at the beginning of this eBook to record the number of correct / wrong responses for each practice test. This eBook shows you how to compute your childâ€™s Raw Score and then identify the corresponding Scaled Score. To help parents gauge their childâ€™s standing, some top private schools provide average scaled score ranges for students admitted for the previous school year.
