SSAT
The Secondary School Admission Test is an examination required for applicants to many private secondary day and boarding schools. SSAT is a pencil-and-paper test, with essay and multiple choice sections. The SSAT consists of two parts: a brief essay, and a multiple-choice aptitude test which measures your ability to solve mathematics problems, to use language, and to comprehend what you read.
The test is administered on two levels: Lower (for students currently in grades 5-7) and Upper (for students currently in grades 8-11). Since more than one age group take the same tests, the test scores are compared to that of the national average. Typically higher national percentile would shine your applications.
Our courses focus on enhancing the vocabulary level, improving reading comprehension and being able to analyze mathematical questions. Join us today and become a top student among your age group!
ISEE

ISEE consists of several parts: (1) Verbal and Quantitative Reasoning (2) Reading Comprehension and Mathematics (3) Essay Section.
ACT
The ACT is a standardized test for high school achievement and college admissions in the United States produced by ACT, Inc. It was first administered in fall 1959 by Everett Franklin Lindquist as a competitor to the College Board’s Scholastic Aptitude Test, now the SAT Reasoning Test. Some students who perform poorly on the SAT find that they perform better on the ACT and vice versa.
The ACT test has historically consisted of four tests: English, Math, Reading, and Science reasoning. In February 2005, an optional writing test was added to the ACT, mirroring changes to the SAT that took place later in March of the same year. All four-year colleges and universities in the U.S. accept the ACT, but different institutions place different emphases on standardized tests such as the ACT, compared to other factors of evaluation such as class rank, G.P.A., and extracurricular activities.
