  SSAT, PSAT, SAT or ACT test scores are required for all applicants. 
  
  KUA's SSAT code is 4390
  
  SSAT Tests are administered on Saturdays each month throughout the fall and winter in many locations. 
  
  The Character Skills Snapshot is a new part of the SSAT. Character and personal growth are an integral part of a Kimball Union education. Each student is so much more than a grade or test score. The Character Skills Snapshot gives us richer holistic information and illuminates areas where Kimball Union can help your child grow and thrive.
  
  Most candidates in grades 9-11 submit SSAT scores.
  
  Candidates taking the PSAT or SAT or ACT between September and January may submit either of those scores in place of SSAT scores.
