SSAT COURSE
In-Class (Group)
Prepare for the SSAT with PREPSKILLS® SSAT classes. We offer a number of locations with complete course schedules so you may choose dates and times best suited to your individual needs. The SSAT classes are offered in both PREP PLUS and CONDENSED options with PREP PLUS courses being the preferred choice for the majority of our families.
Private In-Home Prep
Prepare for the SSAT with PREPSKILLS® Private In-Home SSAT Prep. We come to you and that allows for flexibility in busy schedules. What’s more, students benefit from personal one-on-one instruction. This private and personalized attention results in the development of an individual testing plan in order to maximize scoring potential. In addition to our comprehensive program, we offer In-Home One-on-One 2 hour Sessions helpful in reviewing test-taking strategies, make up sessions, or in the design of another program to meet additional academic objectives.
EPREPSKILLS (Online)
The EPREPSKILLS™ on line program allows students to learn in the comfort of their own home, on line and in real time. This comprehensive program provides dynamic interaction with one of our of our highly skilled PREPSKILLS® Certified teachers and SSAT experts who will prepare your child using our proprietary program methodology and curriculum. While in the comfort of your own home, your child will interact with the teacher and receive the full benefits of our SSAT program. For students who benefit from the personal attention and schedule flexibility of private instruction, PREPSKILLS® is proud to offer our full SSAT program on a private basis on line with real-time instruction.
PREP PLUS vs CONDENSED PREP
PREPSKILLS® SSAT Prep Plus Program is the one chosen most often by families to provide the best competitive edge. The Plus Program offers the most comprehensive SSAT preparation possible. It bridges the gap between content learned at school and the test-taking strategies and skills required to maximize the scoring potential of every student we work with. This course is best suited for your child as it provides additional exercises and skill building over a longer period of time. Students find that proper preparation and skill-building over time leads to greater confidence with practice over time, leading to the greatest score increase and success.
PREPSKILLS® SSAT Condensed Prep is an option for students that may find themselves up against time constraints when preparing to write the SSAT. This course provides a shorter timeline than our Plus Program and is best suited if your child has 6 weeks or less to prepare for the SSAT test.

MASTER YOUR ELEVATOR PITCH!
“Part of the preparation I do with students is have them give a quick ‘elevator pitch’ to each other. I ask what they remember about each other’s pitches. If no one remembers what you said, you are not creating a lasting impression. Therefore, you want the student to be authentic, poised without sounding coached, self assured, transparent and engaging.”
~Joanna Severino, Educator, Founder & President, PREPSKILLS
Practice your elevator pitch until you master it, in order to portray your best unique self in a memorable way to school administrators.

Students are provided the chance to familiarize themselves with the SSAT by writing a simulated test.
