SSAT Preparation Program

For students interested in applying to private and independent schools, performance on a standardized test plays a crucial role. Exams vary and test scores are weighted differently. The best way to prepare your child is to start with PREPSKILLS®.

PREPSKILLS® familiarizes students with the admission process and focuses on test-taking strategies, skill-building exercises, and essay writing. Skill development is reinforced through practice by working on fundamental skills and question types in the areas of Mathematics, Verbal ability, and Reading Comprehension. PREPSKILLS® offers a unique and challenging program in which we strive to develop not only test-taking skills but also each child's self-esteem, confidence and ability to reach their full potential.

Veronica, Student, University of Toronto Schools

"Hi, my name is Veronica Pang and I’m currently attending UTS, also known as the University of Toronto Schools.  Let me tell you this. I’m not part of the administration there, so I really have no concrete idea how they decide who to let in, but I do have the wealth of the actual experience on my hands, and I am here to share it with you.

Barbara Priscus, Independent Test Center for the SSAT, Toronto

"In my experience the students who attended PREPSKILLS® seem to approach the SSAT with calm confidence. Parents also appear more relaxed about their child's test-taking ability."

Jenny, Student, University of Toronto Schools

"Frankly, when I was first introduced to PREPSKILLS®, I thought it was just another preparation program that parents send their kids to in a frenzy, afraid that their own preparation plan wasn’t strong enough. After experiencing the benefits of PREPSKILLS®, I realized that I was partly right- the PREPSKILLS® staff taught me things that my parents would never have even thought of teaching me, but it was better than what even commercials described other programs as.

Daniel, Student, University of Toronto Schools

"Daniel's SSAT scores in verbal were 710, in math they were 677 and in reading it was 710 with the total being 2097. Daniel got accepted by UTS and recently earned the John and Margaret Withrow scholarship making him one of the four (3 out of 4 are PREPSKILLS®' students) that were recipients of it.. We really appreciate the help PREPSKILLS® gave to him."

Talia, Student, Richmond Hill Montessori School

"Please accept my sincere thanks for preparing me for the SSAT examination. I have already taken the test in one of the Flex Centers and received my results yesterday. The score that I have attained overall is 2112. My highest scores were verbal, 716, and math, 725. The exam was easy and I enjoyed writing it thanks to your training, patience, positive attitude, and most valuable advices. Thank you so much"

Ingrid Camhi, Mother, Toronto

"Prepskills has made the difference between fear and confidence before taking the SSAT. Our daughter knew what to expect with all the tools,materials and information Prepskills provided her."
