What you get for free

Most free SSAT practice tests are a static PDF and an answer key. This is the actual practice environment your child would use to prep, opened up at no cost for one level.

A full-length, timed diagnostic

The writing sample plus the scored Quantitative, Reading, and Verbal sections under real SSAT timing, so your child practices pacing, not just content.

An instant subskill report

See accuracy broken down by section and subskill, so you know what to drill instead of guessing.

The full question bank at your level

Go beyond the diagnostic into unlimited section-by-section practice for your child's level.

One AI-graded essay

The real SSAT writing sample is sent to schools unscored. Get rubric-based feedback the EMA never provides.

The free plan covers one child at one level. Full Access (both levels, unlimited essay grading, and the AI coach) is a separate one-time purchase you can choose later — never a subscription, and never required to use everything above.

Choose your child's level

The SSAT comes in levels set by the grade your child is applying to enter. SSAT Coach covers the Middle and Upper Levels. Start the free diagnostic at the right one, or read the full level guide first.

Why a real diagnostic beats a PDF practice test

A downloadable practice test tells you a raw number of right and wrong answers. It can't tell you why your child missed what they missed, or what to do next. A living diagnostic can.

Free SSAT practice test FAQ

Is it really free?

Yes. One child profile at one level gets the full question bank for that level, one complete full-length diagnostic, and one AI-graded essay at no cost. No credit card, no auto-renewal.

Do I need a credit card?

No. The free diagnostic and question bank need only an email to save progress. Full Access is a separate one-time purchase you can choose later if you want both levels and unlimited essay grading.

Which level should my child take?

Middle Level for grades 6–8 admission, Upper Level for grades 9–12 admission. Pick the level for the grade your child is applying to enter.

How long is the test?

A full-length Middle or Upper Level SSAT runs about 3 hours, counting the writing sample, the scored sections, and the short breaks. The diagnostic mirrors that timing, or you can do shorter section practice instead.

Does the SSAT penalize guessing?

Yes. You earn a point for a right answer, lose a quarter point for a wrong answer, and lose nothing for a blank. Learning when to answer and when to skip is one of the easiest score gains, and SSAT Coach teaches the math for it.

Is this affiliated with the EMA?

No. SSAT is a registered trademark of The Enrollment Management Association (the EMA), which is not affiliated with SSAT Coach. Every question is original, written to match the real test's style and difficulty.
