<p>Hey guys, I was just wondering how everyone studied/is studying for their ssat vocab section. I have been making notecards for quite some time now and i probably have nearly 1000. Is there a better or more efficient way of doing this? should I really be spending so much time studying for one section? Yeah... If anyone could give me some advice i would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!</p>
<p>Flashcards are great! (:
You can also go to freerice.com ; I found that sight helpful, too.</p>
<p>Freerice is a pretty good site I use it sometimes. And yeah flashcards are good for studying I guess but they are extremely time consuming to make and I don’t think i should be spending all this time studying for just one section. I was just wondering if anyone has a more efficient way to study for it… but thanks anyway for your post.</p>
<p>Sorry for typing “sight” instead of “site”. I couldn’t find the “edit” button. haha. or maybe i’m just not looking hard enough.</p>
<p>I’m sorry if I wasn’t very helpful. I didn’t study that hard for the SSAT vocab part, because I really didn’t know before that it was such a big deal, and I wasn’t informed that I’m going to take it until about 2-3 weeks before the testing date.</p>
<p>Anyway, I can assure you that the math section was really easy. It was pretty much basic math, nothing complicated. So you can really focus on the vocabulary part if you think that’s your weakness. Also, you can study latin and greek root words.</p>
<p>I hope I’m helpful this time.
Good luck!</p>
<p>I am using Vocabulary Cartoons: SAT word power and ARCO:words for smart test takers.</p>
<p>Asiankid, I’m glad to know the math portion is easy. Urbanflop, those looks like some good alternatives… I’ll buy them. Thanks guys!</p>
<p>The easiest way to score well on the Vocabulary section of the SSAT is to trust in your wealth of words that you understand through your exstensive reading. Most good students read a lot and that should be adequate.</p>
<p>I got the ACT, PSAT, SAT gold edition test prep thing from Kaplan. It has computer flash cards so you don’t have make them all yourself. I also have both The Princeton Review and Kaplan SSAT books. A lot of the SAT/PSAT words on the computer game are also in the books.</p>
<p>Another great way of studying is using the WordlyWise books.</p>
<p>I heard that the SSAT takes a lot of their words from WordlyWise.</p>
