ability to relate ideas logically. The quantitative (math) questions
test your ability to solve problems involving arithmetic, elementary
algebra and geometry and concepts. The reading comprehension section
tests your ability to understand what you read. All tests are printed
in English.

to respond to a topic statement. Your essay is not graded, but a copy
accompanies each SSAT score report you have sent to a school or
consultant.
