<p>“started learning vocab in the beginning of June”</p>
<p>There’s no need to stress yourself over SSATs like this. It’s only one part of the application, and you should spend more time polishing more important aspects e.g. your essays and your ECs.</p>
<p>Get the Princeton Review book and do all the exercises. I reckon 2 months of prior prep are generally adequate. After all, you want a true indication of your ability in order to find a school that is your best match. </p>
<p>For the verbal section, 2 months, 1 month = 30 days, 20 words a day, 20*60 = 1200 words are enough. The more you cram, the less you remember.</p>
