I am reading this thread with great interest, as I have wondered about testing after the EXPLORE. There is a wonderful boarding school in our area that accepts day students as well. They request a SSAT done in 8th grade (fall I would assume)for admission. DD wants to go there, as she learned about their wonderful science program (she is interested in zoology)and tons of AP classes offered. So with the goal of SSAT in 8th grade, I wonder if SAT or ACT would be better for 6th and 7th or if there is a way to take the SSAT earlier? From reading their website, the SSAT is similar to the SAT in that it has a written portion and deduction for wrong answers.
Ania, there is a booklet that comes with the Explore test, our talent search send it our 3 weeks before the test. It will have sample questions that will help in preparation.
