The synonym section of the SSAT is very challenging due to the difficult vocabulary, as well as the traps that the test-makers include to confuse you. The first trap to look out for is the Secondary Part of Speech Trap. Sometimes the word has a secondary meaning when it is used in a different part of speech. For example, words can be both a noun and a verb, and have different meanings depending on their part of speech.
Be on the lookout for Secondary Part of Speech, Homophone, and Related Word traps. Choose an ISEE and SSAT test prep program that is customized to address each your individual strengths and weaknesses, and develop a customized preparation plan to arm your child with powerful and up-to-date strategies for all sections of the test.
