SSAT Upper Level – What You Need to Know
The Upper Level SSAT is for students currently in grades 8-11 who are applying to attend grades 9-12 next year.
The Upper Level SSAT has four multiple-choice sections: one verbal section with synonyms and analogies, one reading section with passages and questions, and two quantitative sections with math problems.
We currently have three books available for the Upper Level SSAT, described below. The links bring you to the Amazon.com pages where each book is available for purchase.
NEW IN APRIL 2020 – Kindle editions of all The Best Unofficial Practice Tests books are now available. Each test is its own eBook that can be purchased separately. Links are with the book descriptions below. These are available on Kindle Fire tablets and with the free Kindle app available for Android, iOS (in the App Store), Windows, and Mac, but are unavailable for eReaders such as the Kindle, Paperwhite, and Oasis due to the figures and degree of formatting in our materials. We recommend a 10-inch screen or larger for maximum readability. Answer sheets to accompany these tests can be downloaded and printed from the downloads page.
