This six-class course prepares students in grades 8–11 for the Upper Level SSAT. Mark Greenstein teaches the more advanced math, vocabulary, reading, writing, pacing, and question-triage skills expected at this level—separately from the Middle Level course.
Classes meet in person in Greenwich, Connecticut, on Mondays from 7:15–8:45 PM. Tuition is $475 per student and includes six 90-minute classes / nine total instructional hours.
Students practice algebraic equations, exponents, proportions, coordinate concepts, geometry, patterns, data interpretation, estimation, backsolving, and denser multi-step problems. Verbal work emphasizes advanced vocabulary, nuanced synonym distinctions, abstract analogies, roots, and efficient elimination. Reading instruction covers argument structure, author attitude, tone, purpose, inference, and selecting the answer best supported by the passage. Students also build a practical writing-sample plan.
The course includes level-specific instruction, guided practice, timed work, pacing checkpoints, error analysis, and a final priority plan for the target test. Students practice balancing accuracy with speed, triaging difficult questions, maintaining focus across timed sections, and recovering after a challenging item or passage.
The sequence moves from test structure and baseline habits to quantitative methods, verbal reasoning, reading and writing, timed application, and final test-day rehearsal. The exact mix may adjust to the needs of the class while preserving the complete nine-hour program.
Select the target test date before adding the course to your cart. Your selection identifies the six Monday class dates shown above.
Mark Greenstein has taught test preparation since 1987 and founded Ivy Bound in 2000. The SSAT is his favorite K–12 course to teach. He helps students make stronger decisions under time by showing how questions are built and why plausible wrong answers attract test takers.
This purchase enrolls one student in the selected Upper Level cohort. Official SSAT registration is separate and is not included in course tuition. Classes are held in person in Greenwich, Connecticut; confirm the current venue with Ivy Bound.
If you are interested in paying by means other than a credit card number, please contact us for assistance.
Please note: each class requires sufficient enrollment (Four (4) Students) in order to run. In the event that you purchase a seat in a class that is under-enrolled and does not run, you are entitled to a refund of the initial purchase price. If you would like to know the enrollment status of a particular class, or are interested in joining a class once it has reached sufficient enrollment, you can contact an educational consultant here.
