<p>Thanks for the website! (yes you did help) 
Actually I didn’t get the practice book from the SSAT (it was so expensive). I got the Princeton Review one though, and studying the vocab and math stuff now. Thanks again!</p>
<p>Deerkiss (idiot that he was) had a thread with great advice in it. He was banned though so the thread may have been lost.</p>
<p>Haha, I think it was lost, since I couldn’t view it…</p>
<p>don’t use mcgraw hill. avoid it like the plague.
princeton review is harder than the actual test, but all the other books you see in the prep section should be about the level of the SSAT.</p>
<p>once you get the concepts of the test down, it’s really all about practice… and taking practice tests over and over and over again. haha it’s what the koreans do/</p>
<p>The best source to study for vocab on the SSAT would be books. I’ll name a few that I used:
- Word Power by readers digest
- Wordsmart for the GRE
- Vocab Cartoons by Buchers (I think) and their website, Vocabularycartoons.com</p>
<p>For the overall SSAT, I suggest you buy some guides, and do section by section practice.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>oh! one thing i want to add. before you get started with actually studying, i’d start off with a diagnostic.
like, a practice test from one of the prep books (of course, staying away from mcgraw hill and princeton review on this one). just figure out where your weaknesses are. you don’t want to waste your time studying things you’re gonna ace :D</p>
<p>Thanks everyone! I’m still studying, slowly but surely. Haha, those prep books are huge (and expensive!). 0.o Good luck to all of your applications!!! :D</p>
<p>Clay123456 is totally right about mcgraw hill, it’s so awful. I got it and it didn’t help me at all. Anything by princeton review or Barron’s is great and brakes it down for you especialy the vocab part. + Mcgraw hill is expensive. If you want high vocab scores make flash cards and review them daily.</p>
