| SSAT Preparation |  1. Take practice tests. Consider Kaplan's, Barron's, and The Princeton Review publish practice tests as well as online Web based tutorials and classroom test prep sessions. Besides, practice tests are published by SSAT organization. Of course, practice won't make perfect, but it will go a long way towards creating a perfect attitude and stance when it comes to taking the test. Why? It is because everything will seem familiar to you. It will help you relax and perform better.
2. Work to the clock. The SSAT test is timed. The more questions you can answer, the better your chances of success are. Don't get disappointed if you need more time the first couple of times you take the test. You will learn to focus and answer questions quickly and efficiently.
3. Create the test environment. It is better to take your practice test in a quiet room with no distractions. It means turning off your cell phone, iPod, stereo and TV. You need to sit at a table or desk just like you would in the actual test room.
4. Repeat the practice test session at least twice. It is a good idea to schedule the practice test sessions several weeks apart.
5. Memorize the test format and structure. It is very important to know what is expected. Do not forget, the more familiar you are with the test, the more relaxed you will become.
6. Know what material will be covered. Comprehend the way questions are worded.
7. Learn all the variations in the way a question can be worded or presented.
8. Think like an examiner. Try to find out what they are really asking.
