Children in Grade 8 sit the SSAT Upper Level: two Quantitative sections, Reading and Verbal, then a writing sample, with the Middle Level's times. Upper adds coordinates, slope and the Pythagorean theorem, harder words and longer passages, and a wrong answer still loses a quarter point.

Tips

Getting ready for Grade 8

  • Guess only when you can rule out at least two of the five choices.
  • For analogies, say the link as a sentence, then test every choice against it.
  • Know the distance and slope between two points without a calculator.
