Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT)

Are you planning to enroll your child in a private school? Private schools use the SSAT as an admissions test. The test measures your child’s ability to solve Mathematics problems accurately and efficiently. Your child will be required to do Math computations based on what he/she has learned in school subjects and apply certain concepts to everyday life.

Does your child need guided preparation to perform his or her best on the SSAT? MathSP can help your child score his or her best to gain admittance into private school.

Instructors utilize the SP Method™ to teach your child the Strategies and Problem-solving techniques he/she will need to succeed on the SSAT. Using our Facilitative Approach, instructors enable students to find, understand, and learn from their mistakes. Learning how to prepare for the SSAT will also help your child succeed on future tests he/she will take such as the PSAT, SAT, and state exams.

The SSAT is divided into five sections as shown in the table below:

Sections Number of Questions Time
Writing 1 essay 25 minutes
Math (2 sections) 25 per section 30 minutes per section
Verbal 30 synonym
30 analogy
30 minutes
Reading Comprehension 40
(based on ~7 reading passages)
40 minutes
Total 2 hrs. 35 min.

SAT Subject Tests

Is your child prepared to excel on the Mathematics SAT Subject Tests? Let MathSP help your child succeed on the Mathematics Level 1 and Mathematics Level 2 exams. Our SP Method™ will provide your child with the Strategies and Problem-solving techniques her/she needs to perform his/her best on the subject tests. Our expert tutors utilize the Facilitative Approach to allow students to discover their problem-solving mistakes and to correct them. Concept-based Learning is also important; it ensures that your child has the knowledge of the concepts that he/she will be tested on and emphasizes application of these concepts to real test questions.

The Mathematics Level 1 subject test is designed to assess your child’s understanding of common topics of college-preparatory Math, including two years of algebra and one year of geometry. A scientific or graphing calculator is required, and your child is expected to know how to use one. The test is one-hour in length and consists of 50 multiple-choice questions. The topics tested as well as their approximate percentage of the test are shown in the following table.

Topics Approximate % of Test
Number and Operations 10-14%
Algebra and Functions 38-42%
Geometry and Measurement 38-42%
Plane Euclidean 18-22%
Coordinate 8-12%
Three-dimensional 4-6%
Trigonometry 6-8%
Data Analysis, Statistics, and Probability 6-10%

The Mathematics Level 2 subject test is designed for students who have taken college-preparatory Math for more than three years, including two years of algebra, one year of geometry, and pre-calculus and/or trigonometry. A scientific or graphing calculator is required and may provide an advantage over a scientific calculator for some questions. However, your child is not expected to use a calculator for every question. The test is one-hour in length and consists of 50 multiple-choice questions. The topics tested as well as their approximate percentage of the test are shown in the following table.

Topics Approximate % of Test
Number and Operations 10-14%
Algebra and Functions 48-52%
Geometry and Measurement 28-32%
Coordinate 10-14%
Three-dimensional 4-6%
Trigonometry 12-16%
Data Analysis, Statistics, and Probability 6-10%

Georgia Student Assessments

The Georgia Student Assessments measure students’ achievement of state-mandated curriculums. Is your child prepared to pass the Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests (CRCT), End-of-Course Tests (EOCT), and/or Georgia High School Graduation Tests (GHSGT)? At MathSP, we can help your child succeed in the Math portion of these mandatory state exams.

CRCT

The CRCT is required for middle school students. A cumulative end-of-year assessment is required by the state to measure how well students acquire, learn, and retain the knowledge from a particular curriculum. MathSP can help your child prepare for the Math portion of the CRCT.

EOCT

The EOCT is required for students in grades 9-12 in core classes (as well as middle school students taking high school core classes). MathSP can help prepare your child for the Mathematics I test, which includes algebra, geometry, and statistics, and the Mathematics II test, which includes geometry, algebra II, and statistics.

GHSGT

The GHSGT is required for students in the state of Georgia to graduate from high school. There are four content areas tested, including Math. Ensure that your child is ready for the Math portion of the GHSGT and sign up for MathSP tutoring today!
