Yes, the SSAT is difficult

[Erin]

First post in this forum.

I've helped many middle school students with the SSAT test, and in case any parents are wondering, yes, I think the test is very hard.

I strongly recommend that all parents whose children are taking the SSAT take some sample SSAT questions themselves to gauge the difficulty level. If you find that some questions seem to be debatable or subjective, then I agree with you.

Just wanted to get the discussion going. I usually recommend that students take the ISEE, if the high school will accept it, but many do not.
