*** Other SSAT Elementary / Middle / Upper test prep material from “Test Masters” is available for your Amazon Kindle.

This Kindle eBook only contains SSAT Elementary Level READING selections and questions. The actual SSAT Elementary 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 THIRD and FOURTH graders applying for private schools that require the SSAT Elementary.

From the “The Official Guide to the Elementary Level SSAT for Students in Grades 3 – 4”

OVERVIEW OF THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL SSAT
The Elementary Level SSAT is a multiple-choice admission test that consists of four sections, given in this order:
Quantitative (Math) – 30 Questions, 30 Minutes
Verbal – 30 Questions, 20 Minutes
Break – 15 Minutes (snacks and beverages are allowed during break)
Reading – 28 Questions (seven short passages, each with four questions), 30 Minutes
Writing Sample – 1 Prompt, 15 Minutes
Total Testing Time: 110 Minutes

THE READING SECTION
The Reading section assesses a student’s ability to comprehend what is read. Students are asked to read through a short passage and then answer a set of four questions about that passage. Depending on the passage, students may be asked any of the following types of questions:
CONTENT
Using specific details that are stated in the passage, the student may be asked to identify main ideas and/or provide answers to questions relating to “who,” “what,” “where,” “when,” “why,” and “how.”
CONTEXT
Using context clues, the student may be asked to determine the meaning of a specific word or phrase and choose the correct definition or synonym.
INFERENCE
Using implicit information from the passage, the student may be asked to make inferences about the behaviors and motives of the author and of the characters depicted in the passage.
ANALYSIS
Drawing on the information contained in the passage, the student may be asked to make inferences, predictions, and s.

SSAT Elementary Level Reading selections and questions are sometimes comparable to fifth and sixth grade level 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 SSAT Elementary 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 three grade levels above your child’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.

Parents should not overreact to “lower-than-expected” results. In addition to SSAT scores, most private schools take into account academic performance, teacher / counselor / coach recommendations, extracurricular activities and the personal interview / essay / portfolio in their admissions decision. But, of course, high SSAT scores help immensely. Remember that every child can improve his or her SSAT performance with the right mix of effort, instruction, materials, experience and encouragement!
