I stated this in another thread, but for my child it was too hard to really replicate the 3 hour timed testing experience. Anyone can do really well on the SSAT sitting in their comfy house with a mug of hot chocolate and the dog at your feet. My son had to figure out how to take the test in a drafty, impersonal, unfamiliar school with someone else imposing the timing restrictions. Use the practice tests as a way to get control over the format, but don’t take the practice scores (low or high) as gospel.
