PRIVATE SCHOOL ADMISSION TESTS

Today's private school admission process is more competitive than ever.  Private and religious high schools and middle schools use standardized assessments as part of their decision making process for acceptance.  Common assessments include:

  • SSAT
  • ISEE
  • COOP
  • HSPT

Each test is administered in two or three levels based on grade. Although each test differs in its design, individual sections, and scoring, each one covers the important areas of vocabulary, reading comprehension, writing, and mathematics.

At the Somerset Learning Center, teachers introduce students to the format of their specific test, teach them appropriate test taking strategies, and reinforce the necessary content and skills. Students have the opportunity to practice taking their test under timed conditions, and analyze their performance.  They learn to approach thier specific assessment with confidence and optimism!

"I recently took the ISEE, and scored in the 99th percentile.  The Somerset Learning Center prepared me very well for the test.  I was much less nervous when I realized the I knew how to solve these types of questions, thanks to the Somerset Learning Center teachers.  They coached me on how to manage my time, and familiarized me with problems I had never seen before.  Thank you!"

"Drew's scores on the HSPT secured him an interview with Regis High School!  Thank you, thank you, thank you, for all the work you did with him.  He could not have done it without the Somerset Learning Center staff.  Of the 800 boys who were invited to take the test, 230 get interviews.  All the 800 boys who take the test must be straight A students, so this is a huge accomplishment.  Thank you again.  I think you must have on of the most rewarding jobs in the whole world."
