[quote=Anonymous]We signed up for the December SSAT and started once a week in-home one on one prep classes (with ongoing homework) in early October (the idea was to have about 2 months of prep). DC didn't crush the test but his scores improved by a significant amount compared to the prep tests he took (he did two tests just as if real (timed, etc.)) and he was accepted to 5 out of 6 schools applied to. We spent a great deal of time on the prep too, e.g., working through the reading comp questions/answers and memorizing vocab. words. In sum, set your child up to succeed by planning a long period of test prep (6-9 weeks), setting aside entire weekend mornings when the house is quiet and timed practice tests can be done, and ensuring your DC does the homework and then helping DC as needed (quizzing vocab words, going through math/reading comp, helping DC see themes and strategies).[/quote]
