What does Prep cover for SSAT Quantitative?

Elementary Level, Middle Level, Upper Level. Each Level has its own chapter map, practice rounds, sealed practice exams with every answer and worked solution at the end, and a published gate to the next Level.

When is the next SSAT Quantitative date?

The next official date has not been announced yet. We update the page as soon as the organizer publishes it.

How much does it cost?

Each child's first round and its summary are free, with no card needed. After that, a Series pass is $14.99 a month for the whole family (up to 5 people) and covers every Level of the Series, so moving up never meets a new paywall.

Does Prep guarantee a score?

No. Prep shows exactly what your child has mastered, what comes next and when they are ready for the next Level. Nobody can promise a contest result.

SSAT Middle Level — Quantitative

For students now in grades 5–7.

What Middle Level covers

The two quantitative sections of the Middle Level SSAT for students now in grades 5–7: arithmetic and estimation, number properties, fractions, decimals, percents and ratios, elementary algebra and defined operations, geometry and measurement, averages, graphs and probability, and the SSAT's spatial-logic puzzles. 50 questions in two 25-question, 30-minute sections; five choices, no calculator, a quarter point off for each wrong answer.

Unit questions open after sign-in with a Series pass. Each child's first round is free, with its summary.

Number Concepts & Operations
Arithmetic, estimation, number properties and integers.
3 units
- Arithmetic & Estimation — Before computing, glance at the choices: if they are far apart, round and estimate.
- Number Properties — For 'must be' questions, test the rule with a small example (n = 1, n = 3); one counterexample removes a choice.
- Negative Numbers & the Number Line — Draw a quick number line: moving right adds, moving left subtracts.
Fractions, Decimals, Percents & Ratios
Part-of-a-whole reasoning in every form.
3 units
- Fractions & Decimals — Compare a fraction to ½ by doubling the top: if 2 × top > bottom, it is more than half.
- Percents — 10% is a decimal-point move; build 5%, 15%, 25% from it.
- Ratios, Rates & Proportions — A ratio a : b means a + b equal 'parts'. Find what one part is worth.
Algebra
Expressions, equations, inequalities and defined operations.
3 units
- Expressions & Equations — Undo operations in reverse order; then answer the question asked (it may be x + 4, not x).
- Defined Operations & Symbols — Copy the rule, then substitute slowly: the first number goes where the rule's first letter is.
- Inequalities & Must-Be-True — Try the edge values: test a number just inside and just outside the range.
Geometry & Measurement
Perimeter, area, angles and units.
2 units
- Perimeter, Area & Angles — Label every length you know on the figure; missing sides of rectilinear shapes come from the opposite sides.
- Measurement, Time & Units — Write the conversion factor next to the problem (12 in = 1 ft, 60 min = 1 h) before you start.
Data, Probability & Other Concepts
Averages, graphs, chance and spatial-logic puzzles.
3 units
- Averages — Think in TOTALS: average × count = total. Most average questions are really total questions.
- Graphs & Probability — Read the scale and the key before any number; for probability, count favourable over total.
- Spatial & Logic Reasoning — Draw it. A five-second sketch of the fold, the stack or the route beats imagining.

Moving up to Upper Level

Cover at least 80% of this Level's knowledge points, with at least 50% of them mastered (confirmed by spaced review, not one good day).
Pass 2 full-length practice exams on different papers, at least 7 days apart, within 60 days.
Answer at a steady pace: a median of 72 seconds a question or less.
Or, when the signs are there, take the next Level's entry check: 75% or more moves up straight away.

A sample question from Middle Level

If K + 4 is less than 9, then 3 x K MUST be less than

Answer: 15

Worked solution

K + 4 < 9 means K < 5.
Multiply by 3: 3 x K < 15.
K could be 4.5, making 3 x K = 13.5, so 3 x K need not be less than 12, 9, 5, or 3. Only 15 is certain.

Read-only. Every other question opens after sign-in; each child's first round is free.
