My daughter took the SSAT today and noted that one of the passages was identical to the practice test provided by the SSAT for an additional $50. Practice Tests 1 and 2 are available in print when registering. Practice test 3 is online only and available for the additional fee.

This seems incredibly unfair to those people who decided not to take the additional practice test. The passage was about baby boomers and millennials and the questions were identical except for one word (“predecessor” was used in one of the questions on the practice test and “parent” was used in the actual test). Was this done on purpose, I am sure that once word gets out, SSAT will be selling more of these additional practice tests.
