The Secondary School Admission Test Board (SSATB) is a nonprofit organization founded in 1957 by 10 independent school admissions officers to solve the problem of students being forced to take a test for every secondary school they applied to[1]. Operating under their mission statement, "To Support the Secondary School Admission Process" [1], the SSATB has become nationwide and nearly every independent middle school and high school in the United States is now a member, including members in all 50 States. The SSATB's main function is the administration of the Secondary School Admissions Test, a standardized test which is used in the admissions process of all member schools and is administered on six continents in 76 countries.
