SSAT is a middle school entrance examination, which is equivalent to the senior high school entrance examination in China.

SSAT mainly tests students' mathematics, English level and comprehension. The exam is divided into three parts: mathematics, vocabulary and reading, and there is also a composition (no score). There are low-level (5-7 grade candidates) with a full score of 2 130 and high-level (8-1/grade candidates) with a full score of 2,400. There are two kinds of paper.

At present, mainland students in China mainly take the SSAT Advanced Examination, which is mainly aimed at junior two and junior three students in China. Because American high schools are in grade 9- 12, it is the best time for eighth-grade students to apply for grade 9. A small number of students from Grade One and Grade Two will also sign up for this exam and go to the United States to study for grade10-1. However, because all students except the ninth grade change classes, the application opportunities are often not as high as the ninth grade.

For students in the lower grades (grades 5-7), they are generally prepared to apply for junior high schools in the United States, and the requirements are relatively low compared with the competition in senior high schools.

In addition, for candidates who plan to attend private secondary schools in the United States, it is best to prepare one year in advance. Generally speaking, the time procedure for applying for American secondary schools is roughly as follows:
