9. Review the subject material. You can review a subject in depth but you can't cram years of studying into a few weeks. If you do not understand some concepts and topics, arrange for tutoring.
10. Note what you don't understand. You will save your valuable time, if you keep lists of topics which need some extra attention.
11. Practice what you aren't sure of by writing it out. Remember, there is no substitute for writing things out. Your brain retains information which you have written out.
12. Get help in the areas where you have deficiencies. You may rate what you don't know or understand thoroughly from 1 to 10 and tackle the most serious deficiencies first.
13. Pace yourself. It will not be good to do all your review and studying in one weekend. You should plan it over several months. Be firm in your study habits. 15 minutes daily starting six weeks before the test date is better than a 5 hour cram session the night before.
14. Visit the SSAT site daily for its Word of the Day and Question of the Day features.
