The SSAT is not an achievement test. It measures a student’s verbal, quantitative, and reading skills that are developed over time, both in and out of school.

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 3. Take timed tests
This will make sure you get used to the actual exam environment.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 6. Read as much as possible
Regular reading practice will not only improve your reading speed
but will also help with vocabulary building.

8. 7. Spot roots of words
You can encounter ‘chron’ in chronic as well as chronicle.
Chron, from the greek word chronos, stands for time.

9. 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.
