The Enrollment Management Association Selects BTS Education To Provide The SSAT In China

PRINCETON, N.J., March 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Continuing its efforts to establish formal test administration contracts with Country Master Distributors (CMD)—thoroughly vetted, contractual partners authorized to administer the Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT) in key international markets—The Enrollment Management Association is pleased to announce that BTS Education has been selected to serve as its CMD in China. 

"Our partnership with BTS Education will allow us to ensure the essential security of the SSAT in China while expanding its availability to families and students," comments The Enrollment Management Association Executive Director Heather Hoerle. "The steady growth of student testing in China, coupled with the challenges surrounding inviolability, meant we needed to choose a partner with the significant expertise and capacity to meet our standards. BTS Education was the clear choice and we're thrilled to have them as our new CMD as we continue to provide the SSAT to Chinese students seeking to enroll in our member schools."

The SSAT is the gold standard admission test for independent schools, and is administered internationally throughout the academic year. It is a timed, multiple-choice test consisting of verbal, quantitative (math), and reading comprehension sections and a brief unscored writing sample.  In China, BTS Education will administer the Middle Level SSAT for students in grades 5-7 and the Upper Level SSAT for students in grades 8-11.
