TheSSAT,mapped.
The SSAT opens doors at independent and boarding schools, and its verbal section is unlike anything students see in class: analogies and synonyms that reward a trained approach, not luck. We mapped what recurs at each level, so the months before the application deadline go to the material that scores.

A trained approach.
Whatshowsup.
These are not guesses. Each one appears on the SSAT again and again, and each one is teachable in a session or two.
Analogies
The signature SSAT question. There is a fixed set of relationship types, and we teach all of them.
Synonyms by the hundreds
A finite vocabulary pool drawn on year after year. Studying it directly beats hoping.
Word problems in costume
The quantitative sections dress familiar arithmetic and algebra in unfamiliar setups.
The guessing decision
The SSAT deducts a quarter point for wrong answers. Knowing when to guess is a scored skill.
