4.0 out of 5 stars
invest $12.43. its well worth it!
This book is actually one of the better books for ssat. I use this book after I use Princeton Review (most comprehensive in explanation). There aren't many SSAT books out there so I would suggest that you purchase this one, and the other ones as well (Peterson, Princeton, SSAT (from test makers) and McGraw). If you have time, use vocabulary...

Maybe I should read the small print
Only has 1 practice test for the lower level ISEE exam - I thought it would have 3. It has 3 SSAT and 3 ISEE practice tests, but they are of various levels. Probably better books out there with more practice tests.

If you have time, use vocabulary workshop for Vocab but if you don't, use the vocab list on the back of this book. PROS: COMPREHENSIVE MATH & VERBAL EXPLANATIONS Great Self Study Guide Well Structured & Organized Great Advice on Test Taking Tips BEST VOCAB LIST OUT OF ALL THE SSAT BOOKS. EXPLANATIONS for answers GOOD MATH SECTION!!! CONS: SSAT PRACTICE TEST ESSAY PROMPT is way off. Not enough Math Word Problems Weak Essay Section

This review is from: Kaplan SSAT & ISEE 2010 Edition: For Private and Independent School Admissions (Kaplan SSAT & ISEE for Private & Independent School Admissions) (Paperback)
My son had only 2 months to study for the SSAT. This book was excellent at identifying test taking strategies for him to quickly learn and use. There was enough review but not too much. It was most helpful in showing him what the real test will look and feel like so that this hurdle is cleared before test day. There were enough practice tests for him to take a stab at and clear explanations for each answer in case he needed further clarification. I highly recommend this book and as he is taking the test right now (!) he can't say but I think he would agree!

This review is from: Kaplan SSAT & ISEE 2010 Edition: For Private and Independent School Admissions (Kaplan SSAT & ISEE for Private & Independent School Admissions) (Paperback)
I bought it to give my 11 year old practice for the ISEE.
It has exactly one practice test. There were a couple of test-taking hints of some value, but not much that was applicable.

My daughter used both, and she got a lot more out of the SSAT's own book (even though there were several errors on answers to the questions in it)
