about our SSAT Course

This section is created so you can have answers to some of the more common queries about our SSAT course.



Q:
Is it true that taking a Studyworks SSAT course will definitely raise my SSAT score?

A: Unlike other companies who prefer to put their money into advertising, we use our excess funds for researching and refining better techniques and strategies to help you with your SSAT. Our strategies work. They have been proven by so many of our students worldwide. However, as with all new skills and knowledge you acquire, diligence and determination on the part of the student are also necessary ingredients for success. Please do not assume that just signing up and coming for a course will automatically increase your score. You have to put in the hard work and must be willing to apply our strategies.

How do I register to take the SSAT test and how long does the test score last?

Q:
Why is Studyworks' course fee slightly higher when compared to some other prep schools?

A:
Education is an investment. Unlike other companies, we do not resort to gimmicks such as "limited-time offers" to attract students. Our students know we are better and come to us because of the quality we provide and because they know they will genuinely benefit from a course with us. Be wary of companies that offer the "lowest" or "fee reduction for a limited time" type offers. You pay for what you get and, as the saying goes, "if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys".
 

 

Q:
I heard from my friends that you offer discounts if I sign up for the course with a friend. Is this true?

A:
Yes, that is absolutely true. We generally offer a 5 to 10% discount for students who sign up with their friends. That means, if you have a friend who wants to take the course at the same time as you, you can all get a discount by coming to us as a group. The minimum number to form a group is 2. In fact, many students have found it beneficial to come in groups so that they have company during the course.
