How to improve SSAT scores & private school admissions acceptance

Joanna Severino, founder and president of Prepskills Inc. and the creator/host of US College Expo Canada said “not only is practice and preparation essential for success” but preparing the right way can help you knock it out of the park on standardized testing.

Success is not just about the score. It is also about building confidence for taking tests, learning how to properly and carefully read/interpret test questions, how to think clearly and critically under pressure, and, how to manage your time during a test. These skills are not only helpful for any kind of test. They are helpful for life and a student’s future career. EQ skills and character skill development (such as initiative, resilience, responsibility, self control, curiosity) is so important, this is covered through Prepskills’ PrepEssentials Program.

UTS Student, Jaden Lo talks about preparing for the SSAT, how he should be studying and what the best options were for him. Jaden shared that the interview process was a “breeze” because of the preparation he completed. You can hear Jaden’s journey here:
