The Princeton Review realizes that acing the SSAT and ISEE exams is very different from getting straight A’s in school. We don’t try to teach you everything there is to know about English and math–only what you’ll need to score higher on the exam. There’s a big difference. In Cracking the SSAT & ISEE, we’ll teach you how to think like the test writers and
·Correctly answer analogy and synonym questions even when you’re
not sure what all of the words mean
·Ace the reading comprehension section by learning to spot main ideas,
topic sentences, and key words
·Crack the general math section by learning to avoid wrong answer
choices that look right but are planted to fool you
·Learn how to turn complicated algebra problems into simple word problems
·Simplify the SSAT writing sample and the ISEE essay using a sure-fire,
step-by-step approach
This book includes five full-length practice tests, with questions like the ones you’ll see on the actual SSAT and ISEE.
