How Should I Prepare?

Simulate Test Day Conditions With Practice Tests

Since the standardized tests like the SSAT are not administered online, then it makes sense for your test prep course to suggest taking the practice tests offline.

Start your practice test training by downloading and printing a sample test.

• Take the test under timed conditions using “paper and pencil” duplicating the actual testing process.
• By simulating the real test environment, you’ll be better prepared to maximize your SSAT,PSAT, SAT, and ACT scores.

Grade and Score Your Practice Tests Online

 Focus On Your Missed Questions First

Every practice test you take “lives” online in an your private exam room where you can enter your answers, grade your practice test,and immediately begin your video instructional review.

• Here is how your expert instruction with online video practice works.
• Enter your sample test answers, hit submit, and immediately receive your score!
• The software highlights all correct, incorrect, and skipped answers and displays a projected score.
• Video review of wrong answers gives you a “systematic approach” on increasing your test scores as you learn concepts you missed on the practice tests.
• Instantly click on further subject areas where you need additional “drill down” help.
• This practice process works for all test prep classes, ACT, SAT.PSAT,  SSAT, PLAN, SAT Math Level 1, SAT Math Level 2.

 ”Practice By Doing”   Increases Retention

 24 X 7 Access, Improve Your Test Taking Skills

Your expert video tutor reviews your answers online teaching you how to answer missed questions.

• Video expert review of the questions engages both your eyes and ears while demonstrating how to solve the problems.
• This video review test prep improves your retention and understanding helping you score higher.
• Most online courses and books force you to “read” the answer which is far less effective than the “practice by doing” demonstration method.

You can pause, rewind, and watch each video explanation over and over. Practice the test questions you miss and then go back to review the questions you answered correctly for further instruction on test taking “secrets”.

Practicing the answers you get right will enhance your test taking skills, so that is a good idea if your time allows.

You Deserve A Prep Course That…

Monitors and Shows Your Score Improvement

Most prep courses have you take one diagnostic test to ascertain your weaknesses and strengths. That approach assumes a start and end, what about your practice process in between?

•  Our test prep practice test course monitors your progress throughout your training sessions.
• A practice plan of action based upon diagnosed weaknesses recommends specific subject video lessons to review.
• Once you see how this SSAT, PSAT, SAT, and ACT test prep practice course works  you  will clearly understand the advantages, but first you have to see it to believe it!

“Hi Jim, Abbie has been working with the program and it is quite comprehensive.” - Julie , MA

Why Is Video Review Test Practice The Best?

Higher Retention, Higher Test Scores

As you can see from the Learning Pyramid diagram below,  ”practice doing” provides higher learning retention than any other test prep method except for “teaching”.

You not only can save practice time because your practice effort is more efficient, you have the added convenience of access.

Your online video tutor is available anytime you are, just turn on any computer and start your test prep training.

Try SSAT Practice Test Software

That Really Works For You

When you make mistakes practicing, you learn the reasoning to answer the question correctly.

This forces your brain to concentrate, retain, and apply what you learn on test day!

While practicing for the SSAT in the exam room (software on your computer), once you learn the concepts to missed test questions, you change the answers from wrong to right.

Instantly you will see an estimate of your increase score by understanding the question concept.

As you show incremental improvements you receive instant progress results for your efforts.

How effective is ePrep Practice for SSAT Scoring Success?

"Practice Doing" Helps Remove Test Day Stress

According to the Learning Pyramid  from the National Teaching Labortories (Bethel, Maine), reading only has a 10% retention level and “demonstration” practice (part of Class Room Courses)  has a 30% retention rate.

• That is a 200% INCREASE in retention “improvement” from the reading learning method (Text Books)  to the demonstration practice method (some class room courses).

Test Practice strategies that focus on “practice doing” ( ePrep) are even more effective when it comes to retention.

According to the Learning Pyramid, ”Practice By Doing” is 150% more effective than the demonstration method .

[**Retention  Increases 650% From Reading Test Prep Books to Practice By Doing.]

A test prep practice test course that focuses on your weaknesses not your strengths is more effective for you.

Emphasis on “retention” in addition to improving test-taking skills that are adaptable to test conditions are ideal for your success.

SSAT or Secondary Schools Admissions Test

An Introduction To the Real World Of Assessment

SSAT is one of two admissions test commonly used at American private schools. The other test is the Independent School Entrance Examination (“ISEE”).

In addition, the SSAT test can begin the process of learning how to effectively sit for the ACT and SAT tests with age appropriate material. By practicing SSAT samples questions your test taking skills can improve resulting in higher SSAT scores.

Like many types of standardized tests the SSAT measures the aptitude of the student in these areas;

• Verbal
• Math
• Reading Comprehension

SSAT Test Sample Questions With Video Tutored Answers

Verbal  questions your vocabulary, verbal reasoning, and ability to logically relate ideas.

Math requires the student to solve problems in the areas of arithmetic, geometry, elementary algebra, and general number concepts.

Reading  comprehension measures the student’s ability to understand a written passage.

A brief essay is also required but is not graded. The essay is sent with the results of the verbal, math, and reading scores to your selected schools.

Should You Practice For Higher SSAT Scores?

Build Your Understanding of the SSAT Test Format

Video review with test taking tips helps build your test taking skills for test day resulting in higher SSAT scores.

Through the “Practice, Grade, Review, Repeat” learning cycle you can identify possible learning deficiencies  and improve your skills in these areas.

In order to save time you can focus on what you do not know, not what you already know based upon answers to the SSAT practice tests.

You will take a practice test offline, grade online, video review the SSATsample questions you missed, and repeat. ePrep’s ”learning cycle” is a proven method for improving test scores.

There are 450 videos that further your understanding of the subject areas your practice score reveals further practice would be of value to you.

Throughout the process your familiarity and confidence with the SSAT test material grows. You will now have these advantages;

• More relaxed, your concentration under timed condition improves
• Elimination of test frustration
• Improved concentration under timed conditions
• Become more efficient in answering test questions

SSAT Scoring Report

 SSAT Practice Improves Your Rankings

Scores for the SSAT reveal “Scaled Scores”, “Percentile Rankings” and “12th Grade Predicted SAT Score”.

• Verbal
• Quantitative
• Reading
• Total Scores

 Score scaling occurs separately for grades 5-7 and grades 8-11

• 5- 7   Verbal/Quantitative/Reading Range 440 – 710
• 8-11  Verbal/Quantitative/Reading Range 500 – 800
• 5-7    Total Score Range 1320 – 213
• 8-11  Scoring Range 1500 – 2400

Percentile ranking yields two percentile scores

• Ranking against other students’ scores who have taken theSSAT during the last three years
• National Ranking that compares your performance against the national student population which includes students who did not take the SSAT

For example, if your Reading SSAT percentile is 80% it would mean you scored equal or better in the Reading section than 80% of the students of your gender and grade who took the test during the last three years.

Predicted SAT Score In The 12th Grade

SSAT scoring results provides you an estimated SAT score that you canexpect during your senior year should you take the SAT.
