<p>anyone have suggestions for good books to use to study for the SSAT?</p>
<p>Princeton Review. It's working well for me.</p>
<p>i used that last year and it didnt help alot</p>
<p>Well you shouldn't expect your score to change that much just from a study book.</p>
<p>prepchick, I recently purchased for my d, math word problems demystified, and algebra demystified. I looked over the first 60 or so pages in each book. I noticed that when I looked over one of the practice math ssat test's from Princeton review, that the info from the demystified books served quite well in answering the type of ssat questions. If you get a chance, checked it out. It sure explained things very very well and easy to understand.</p>
<p>Princeton Review! Best book ever. I looked at Kaplan's and Peterson's study books, but I didn't really think they were that helpful. My favorite part of the Princeton Review book was the "Hit Parade" of vocab words. Very useful, especially on the Verbal portion of the test.</p>
<p>ugh. ssat books... i never liked them
[i actually didn't study for the ssats... lol. but still!]</p>
<p>i think the best way to go is just to brush up on the math you're learning in school [obviously, learning new material from a book is not going to help...hence, we have schools.]</p>
<p>for lang/lit, i think you just need to brush up on some familiar, yet advanced vocab [again, trying to cram masses of new words into yourself will not help]</p>
<p>and the ssat gives you a small booklet, so just get to know the test format and how everything works, that should be sufficient.</p>
<p>just get a good night's rest, good breakfast, keep the mind sharp</p>
<p>i dunno if this will work for you though, personally i was never the studying type, so this preparation is what works best for me all the time</p>
<p>nevertheless, studying is good.
do it if you can
:D

<p>Blee0507- You say you didn't study for the ssats, i hope you don't mind me asking but what were your results? Also, did you decide to not study, or did you never get around to it or something else? do you think it would have helped you or would your score have been the same?</p>
<p>By the way, there's also a study guide that is also sold on the official SSAT website (called "Preparing and Applying") which costs $22. The Princeton Review book costs around the same price, but is about three times thicker (and more helpful, in my opinion).</p>
<p>There's no need to study for the SSAT. Just brush up your math. Make sure you're able to read quickly, and find a vocab list online. So easy.</p>

<p>Also known as.... studying for the SSAT?</p>
<p>Besides, it's always more helpful knowing the general format of the test, so you can anticipate what kinds of questions you'll be answering. Obviously, study guides don't make up for years of education, but they are useful.</p>
<p>also known as, brushing up your skills before a match. Not studying. Retard.</p>
<p>Stop fouling your school's name with your appalling word choice.</p>
<p>"Yes, I'm sure it's heinous." </p>
<p>It is. You could get DC'ed at my school for what you just said.</p>
<p>And antagonizing helpful strangers on an Internet forum is a model of maturity.</p>
<p>Cool. Sounds pretty strict.</p>
<p>Sounds like Andover wants its kids to stay classy. Now stop typing before you say something else you'll regret.</p>
<p>Umm, don't tell me what to do.</p>
<p>Wowzaaa....</p>
<p>What's wrong with you, Kirei?</p>
<p>Boy, am I glad I didn't choose Exeter...</p>
<p>Could we get back on topic, please?</p>
<p>Wait are you saying that Kirei is a student at Exeter? If so, respect for all people and types of people needs to be possibly taught their.</p>
