Alright! I don’t know if these tips will work for you as they worked for me but here ya go:

Take a diagnostic practice SSAT first to see your weaknesses and strengths (for me, I struggled with the reading comprehension)

Get familiar with the SSAT format and buy an SSAT workbook (I recommend Ivy Global’s SSAT books)

Verbal is typically the hardest part for most, so I advise you to memorize 10 - 20 vocabulary cards a day (I did 30 but that’s because I sorta crammed my studying into two months)

Study common analogy relationships (this section is difficult as it requires you to have a wide net of vocabulary and good logic)

For math, study the different concepts. There will be Basic Algebra, Basic Geometry, and Probability on there. You can get the official ssat.org practice tests for the best practice.

For reading, I have a bunch of strategies that I used (which got me from a 62nd percentile to the 86th percentile):

1. Skim questions before reading

2. Underline places in the passage where specific questions ask so you can pay attention to the detail you need

3. Recognize different types of reading questions

4. Get familiar with types of reading passages

Hope some of this helped! Best of luck to you on your SSAT!!
