Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About

SSAT Middle

What is the difference between SSAT Middle Level and Upper Level?

Middle Level is for students applying to grades 6-8, while Upper Level is for students applying to grades 9-12. The Upper Level has more challenging questions, especially in math and vocabulary, reflecting higher academic expectations.

How is the SSAT scored?

You will receive a scaled score for each of the three main sections (Verbal, Quantitative, Reading) as well as a total score. More importantly, you will receive a percentile rank comparing your performance to other students of the same grade and gender.

Is the Writing Sample important?

Very important. Although it is not scored, a copy is sent to the schools you are applying to. It is the only opportunity for them to see your writing ability and how you structure your thoughts independently.

Does Intertu have special strategies for Analogies questions?

Yes. Our approach is not just memorizing vocabulary. We teach students how to identify the specific logical relationship between the first pair of words (e.g., cause-effect, part-whole) and then apply that same relationship to find the correct answer.

When should my child start preparing for the SSAT Middle Level?

We recommend starting preparation 3-6 months before the test date. This allows enough time to build the necessary vocabulary, master math concepts, and practice test-taking strategies without feeling rushed.

How is tuition for the SSAT Middle Level course at Intertu calculated?

Tuition for the SSAT Middle Level course at Intertu Education depends on the total number of study hours and the level of support service package (Standard, Premium, Platinum) chosen by parents. For a detailed quote, please contact Intertu's advisory team directly.
