FIRST HALF of this eBook ( Problems #1 thru #150 )
Problems #1 to #150 are "easy-medium" SSAT Elementary Synonyms problems for second / third graders and less experienced test-takers "emerging" or "progressing" towards a higher proficiency level. These more basic problems provide hundreds of intermediary steps designed to transition applicants to "medium-hard" SSAT Elementary Synonyms problems.
.
SECOND HALF of this eBook ( Problems #151 thru #300 )
Problems #151 to #300 are "medium-hard" SSAT Elementary Synonyms problems for third / fourth graders and test-takers performing at a higher proficiency level. These more advanced Synonyms problems provide many opportunities to challenge applicants to reach the highest Verbal scaled score ranges preferred at the nation's elite private schools.

What are the advantages of these 300 SSAT Elementary Level SYNONYMS practice problems?
.
A pervasive characteristic of SSAT private school admission exams is that they are very difficult, oftentimes featuring test questions one to three grade levels above your child's current public or private school curriculum. The SSAT targets a small, highly competitive group of students applying for top private schools across the nation.
.
Using our years of experience developing training guides for a national test preparation company, we have created SSAT study materials that closely approximate the sequence, scope, phrasing and difficulty level of actual exams. We have accomplished this through years of meticulous research into individual SSAT test questions and through information acquired from former test participants.
.
Parents should not overreact to "lower-than-expected" results. (Easy for us to say!) In addition to SSAT scores, most private schools take into account academic performance, teacher / counselor / coach recommendations, extracurricular activities and the personal interview / essay / portfolio in their admissions decision. But, of course, high SSAT scores help immensely. Remember that every child can improve his or her SSAT performance with the right mix of effort, instruction, materials, experience and encouragement!
