Test?
The SSAT is 155 minutes in length and consists of four multiple-choice
sections and a writing sample. The following areas are tested: Verbal,
Quantitative, and Reading . The writing sample is not scored by SSAT (Secondary
School Admissions Test), nor is a copy included with the report sent to
students. A copy is only mailed to the student's respective schools.
Quantitative (2 separate sections; each contains 25 questions, 30 minutes)
tests your knowledge of general mathematical concepts, including arithmetic,
algebra, and geometry. There are no quantitative comparison questions.
Verbal (60 questions, 30 minutes) tests your knowledge of vocabulary using
two different question types: synonyms and analogies. There are no sentence
completions.
Reading (40 questions, 40 minutes) tests your ability to read and understand
short passages. These reading passages include both fiction (including poetry
and folklore) and nonfiction.
Essay (1 essay topic, 25 minutes) is not scored, but a copy is forwarded to
the schools to which you apply.
