Tips for SSAT Test Success

A few points to keep in mind while preparing for SSAT. These will ensure that you get a great score on your test.

1.Prepare well in advance.

Start at least 2 months before your SSAT date. Cramming at

the last minute means you won’t have enough time left for

practice.

2. Don’t skip on practice

It’s essential to be regular. You can’t make up for a week’s lost practice by

catching up on a weekend, as it’s hard for our mind to retain things when

there is an information overload.

3. Take timed tests

This will make sure you get used to the actual exam environment.

4. Identify your weak areas

Whenever you are practicing, do make sure to notice topics where you get

more questions wrong and those which take too much of your time.

5. Don’t worry too much

Do your best while preparing for the test but don’t worry if it doesn’t go

perfectly. It’s only one component of your application to an independent

school.

6. Read as much as possible

Regular reading practice will not only improve your reading speed

but will also help with vocabulary building.

7. Spot roots of words

You can encounter ‘chron’ in chronic as well as chronicle.

Chron, from the greek word chronos, stands for time.

8. Maintain a good pace during

the exam

Don’t spend too much time on a single question. If you are stumped by a

question, move on and don’t think about it while you are attempting other

questions.
