Introducing the SSAT

The HKEAA has the privilege to offer the Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT) with the commission of the Secondary School Admission Test Board (SSATB) recently.

Registration for all the eight SSAT test sessions in 2015-16 has begun, and the first test session will be conducted on 17 October.

The SSAT is a standardised admission test, which is designed for middle and high school students (i.e.grade 5 to grade 12) who are seeking entrance to independent schools in the United States and Canada. The SSAT measures the basic verbal, quantitative, and reading skills students develop over time, which provides independent school admission professionals with meaningful information about the possible academic success of potential students at their institutions.
