Customer Reviews

Clear and Concise

This book is a lifesaver for kids preparing for the SSAT. This book outlines great shortcuts and testing strategies to help students improve their overall scores. The skills are clearly outlined so even the parents can figure out what to do. This book is especially good for the lower level test takers.

review of Cracking the SSAT/ ISEE, 2001 Edition

This test preparation book is very useful for students preparing to take the SSAT and ISEE tests. Especially well-explained are the scoring norms and conversions of Scaled Scores to Percentiles. Problematic is the titling of the scoring tables chapter. It might be better to re-title the chapter, "Your scores and where you rank". There is ample practice, explanation and examples of the distinct question types in all areas. The two full sample tests constitute sufficient practice for the purposes of this test. Consideration should be given for future editions to separate the ISEE from SSAT preparation sections into distinct texts.
