Sinopsis

NOTE -- This is the current (2014) edition of Success on the Upper Level SSAT.

Success on the Upper Level SSAT: A Complete Course provides a complete course for preparing for the Upper Level SSAT. This is the second edition of this book and has been updated for 2014. Instruction is comprehensive for both the strategies and content that students need to ace the Upper Level SSAT. This content includes:

  • Vocabulary lessons that ask students to categorize words and derive meanings from roots so that they can handle anything on test day
  • Math content lessons that explain what concepts will be tested, as well as how these concepts will look on the actual SSAT
  • Detailed strategies and drills for the reading section
  • Advice for the unscored writing sample that is sent to schools
  • NEW FOR 2014 -- Full-length practice test
  • UPDATED FOR 2014 -- New and expanded topics in the math content lessons reflecting the most recent changes to the official guide from the SSATB
Whether you are a family looking for a book to use independently or a school or tutoring company looking for a new text, this is the book for you. While most prep manuals from other publishers combine all levels of the SSAT and all levels of the ISEE into one single volume, all of the material in Success on the Upper Level SSAT: A Complete Course is specific to the Upper Level SSAT. Because of this approach, students can use Success on the Upper Level SSAT: A Complete Course more independently without being distracted by material that is not relevant to their test.

Success on the Upper Level SSAT: A Complete Course is part of a series of books from Test Prep Works developed specifically for the Upper Level SSAT. The full series also includes:

  • 30 Days to Acing the Upper Level SSAT -- This book consists of additional practice to help reinforce the content and strategies covered in Success on the Upper Level SSAT: A Complete Course. The book is divided into 15 "workouts", giving students an easy way to break up the practice into manageable chunks.
  • The Best Unofficial Practice Tests for the Upper Level SSAT -- This book includes 2 additional full-length practice tests (with different questions than the practice test in Success on the Lower Level ISEE: A Complete Course, so there is no overlap between the books.)
Each of these books can be used independently, or they can be used to complement each other, depending on the needs of each specific student.
