Learn About SSAT Elementary

The SSAT Elementary Level is an admissions exam used by many private and independent schools to assess students applying for 4th and 5th grade. The test is designed to measure a child’s potential and foundational skills rather than just memorized knowledge.

The exam consists of four main sections: Quantitative (Math), Verbal, Reading, and an unscored Writing Sample that plays an important role. Proper preparation not only increases the chance of admission to a dream school but also helps children build confidence for future standardized tests.

Facing academic English vocabulary that goes beyond the standard school curriculum.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About

SSAT Elementary

At this age, does my child really need SSAT preparation?

While the test measures natural ability, preparation is very important to help your child feel less anxious and perform at their best. Familiarity with question formats allows true potential to shine without being overshadowed by stress.

Will Intertu’s approach put pressure on young children?

Absolutely not. Our Elementary Level program uses a gentle, encouraging approach with games, interactive activities, and positive reinforcement to make preparation fun and engaging rather than stressful.

Is the Writing Sample important even though it’s not scored?

Yes, very important. Schools receive a copy of the essay to directly see your child’s personality, creativity, and writing ability. Our teachers guide students to express their ideas clearly and confidently.

How long should my child prepare for the test?

We generally recommend 2–4 months of preparation. This allows for consistent, stress-free learning and enough time to develop both skills and confidence.

What does a typical SSAT Elementary lesson at Intertu look like?

Lessons are designed to be engaging and dynamic. A session may include solving fun math puzzles, playing vocabulary-building games, reading and discussing a short story, and practicing test-style questions in an enjoyable way.
