<p>Hi All, </p>
<p>I have 7th grade daughter who wants to go to prep school.
I needed to know when should I start my admission process. She needs to attend in 9th grade that is Aug 2013 she starts school. When should she take SSAt ? </p>
<p>thanks</p>

<p>She should take the SSAT in her 8th grade year, if she’s applying for 9th grade. She could take the SSAT this year, but the scores are only valid for a year, so she would need to take it again next year anyways. 7th grade scores could give you an idea of her usual range on the SSAT–which is more challenging than state standardized tests. They could also help to identify any holes in her preparation. </p>
<p>The thread above gets sidetracked into SSAT theories, but the first post is a good timeline.

<p>Note that many schools have moved their applications online, and many schools accept common applications from the SSAT or the Association of Boarding Schools (TABS). </p>
<p>Welcome!</p>
<p>Thank you so much. That application guideline is perfect</p>
<p>FWIW, I would not wait until August to starting thinking about the set of schools you want to visit/request info from. Depending on your location/summer schedule, you might want to squeeze in some visits/interviews this summer. Best of luck!</p>
