Hello Everyone!
I just wanted to start off by saying that I’m applying to some private schools like, Phillips Andover, Phillips Exeter, Groton, Brooks, and St Marks.
However I know that to get into these top notch school, I need to do farelly well on the SSAT. I’m acing the Reading Comp and Math part. However I’m struggling on the Verbal part of the test. Are there any tips to help me? Synonyms are my weakness but the analogies is no problem. Any help?
Thanks.
Try quizlet to help with vocabulary.

I used this and did great (I think) on the vocabulary section, even though I have never taken a vocab quiz in my life. It really helps. I personally used Quizlet’s new ‘learn’ feature over the flashcards, as it gives you repetition where I need it on some words, and once you’ve mastered it, it’s out of the way. I strongly reccomend it.
P.S. Giving credit where credit is due, @plantkid 's post about application advice referred this to me
