Start your test prep early.&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many students have not covered these math topics in school yet, so leave time for learning some new skills. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is especially the case with some of the more advanced algebra and geometry topics such as factoring, p<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">olynomial expressions, quadratic equations, radical expressions, rational expressions, and even the Pythagorean Theorem.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000080;\">2. Try a range of practice materials.&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The SSAT does not release its tests, so exploring a variety of sources will provide you with the most coverage.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The SSAT itself offers online practice by purchasing an<\/span> Official SSAT Guidebook<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span>Official SSAT Practice Online<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> subscription. <\/span>Consult our guide to the best <a href=\"https:\/\/prepmaven.com\/blog\/test-prep\/ssat-prep-resources\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SSAT Practice Resources here. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>3.

That\u2019s totally fine!&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just focus on the major skills and spend less time on the esoteric questions that might only show up once per test.
