<p>I just took a SSAT practice test, and I was extremely suprised with my score. It is less than 50%! Please help me! I don't know what to do to improve my score. I studied everything in the prep book, and still got a low score. What should I do?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I got a 97 percentile on the SSAT this year and the way of studying I would suggest is:</p>
<p>1) Memorize tons of words (and I mean TONS!!!)</p>
<p>2) Familiarize yourself with numerous proverbs for the writing section</p>
<p>3) Go over all the basic stuff for math</p>
<p>Hope you do well~!!! :)</p>
<p>I really got killed on verbal, how many words and where do you get them from?
Thanks</p>
<p>I got a 98% on the SSAT, and I didn't study THAT much, but I did do a lot of reading review. My mom and I did the practice questions together, but we did not compare answeres until the end of the practice test. It really helped! Also, I memorized vocab from the practice book, but it dod not really help that much because the vocab on every test varies...</p>
<p>But if you have any other questions, feel free to PM me!!! I have many other tips!! :)</p>
<p>You should just list all your tips :)
where could you study online? instead of ordering books, because the test is in a week..
and where would you find all these vocabulary words to study for?</p>
<p>Ordering written materials and studying on-line aren't your only options.</p>
<p>Consider a book store for immediate gratification when it comes to study materials. Part of the value of taking practice tests is replicating the test environment from a quiet place to bubbling in answers. You're missing out on that if you're taking a test on-line.</p>
<p>Test strategies are often very personal. What works for one doesn't necessarily work for all. Testing them out is a good way to find out what works for you.</p>
<p>Go to your local book seller and visit the test prep section for study aids.</p>
<p>Libraries are wonderful places. I just did an online search for our local branch, and their network has many copies of SSAT review books. I wouldn't stress over the edition. If you borrow a copy from a library, though, please don't write in the book!</p>
<p>In my opinion, it's better to get a week of sufficient sleep, than to stay up late trying to improve your verbal score. Sleep, eat nutritious meals, stay up to date on your homework, spar with siblings. Don't obsess about Saturday morning. A relaxed, well-rested student will do better. The structure of the test demands endurance, so take care of the physical end of things.</p>
