<p>I just took the practice test from the princeton review SSAT book. I felt alrite with the analogies, but the synonyms gave me trouble with vocabulary</p>
<p>I ended up with a 680, this puts me at around 60%..which is horrible.</p>
<p>I have some time before I take it, any suggestions or is it just pure knowing the words or not knowing the words.</p>
<p>It's not a thing you can cram and do well on, I spent a whole year making flashcards of words I didn't know that I came across in my reading, which really helped with the SSAT verbal as well as writing/English in school.</p>
<p>practice tests are harder than the actual SSAT
so don't sweat it</p>
<p>Is there anywhere online to take some free practice tests? Or maybe a good place to get ready for it online also?</p>
<p>i think if you go to the ssat website there is a link for a decent amount of practice questions but its not in a test format or anything. </p>
<p>if you have the princeton review book... in the first chapter there are two long lists of words. choose one, make flash cards, and memorize it.</p>
<p>also memorize the prefixes and roots </p>
<p>when i started studying for the ssat back in july i had a 49 percentile on the practice test for verbal</p>
<p>on the most recent test i was able to get it up to 89!</p>
<p>big tip: don't guess on a word because you sort of know what it means. also take advantage of not having to answer all the questions. if you look hard enough and find the page that gives you the percentiles, they tell you how many questions you should try and answer.</p>
<p>good luck!</p>
<p>Well im trying to get in the 90's, and they say to get 93% I have to answer all but 1 on the verbal section. This was under the boys in 10th grade page.</p>
<p>But ya ill look at the list</p>
