I'm not sure studying for the vocab part really works. I took the SSAT without any studying and I scored in the 99th percentile on the vocab section and 99th percentile overall. I credit my score with the fact that I'm a casual reader. I don't think studying is really helpful for the SSAT.
What you could do, however, is study some root words and prefixes. If you know the meanings of those, chances are you'll be able to guess more accurately with certain words should you ever need to. For example, if you get a question like "Coalition:Team::Couch:..." you know that a team is, well, a team. But what's a coalition? It has "co" at the front, which means "together" so maybe it's a synonym for "team?" So then, obviously, you're looking for a synonym for couch.
I know that sounded a little convoluted (what does "con" mean?) but I hope it's a little helpful ;-)
