SSAT Preparation at Ivy Lab: A Smarter, Stronger Approach

​

At Ivy Lab, we know time is tight — and smart preparation matters more than ever. Our SSAT curriculum is designed by a seasoned curriculum expert with over 20 years of experience working with gifted students, using materials with research-proven effectiveness and a focus on efficiency and results.

Verbal and Reading Sections: Our Three-Step Strategy

We take a structured three-step approach to ensure students build lasting skills, not just short-term memorization:

1. Foundation First: We establish strong study habits and solid fundamental skills, ensuring students learn how words can change meaning depending on the context.

2. Deepen Awareness: Students develop an eye for how language works — from recognizing tone and nuance to appreciating figures of speech and literary devices.

3. Master Through Practice: Students will tackle an unprecedented number of official SSAT questions, building confidence and familiarity with the real exam format.

Through this method, students move beyond surface-level studying and into genuine mastery.

 

Math Section: Building Advanced Thinkers

Ivy Lab first started as a specialized office providing advanced math classes for accelerated students. Over time, our team developed a proven method that not only challenges top learners but also elevates struggling students to advanced levels. Many of our students go on to achieve high honors and scholarships at their dream schools — often needing no additional tutoring after their time with us.
