Cracking the SSAT/ISEE, 2001 Edition (Cracking the Ssat & Isee)

The Princeton review doesn't try to teach students everything there is to know about English and math. TPR will tell them only what they need to know to score higher on the SSAT or ISEE. There's a big difference. In Cracking the SSAT & ISEE, The Princeton Review will teach test takers how to think like the test makers.

This is accomplished by teaching students how to:
Solve analogy and synonym problems even when they're not sure what all the words mean
Ace the reading comprehension section by learning to spot the main ideas, topic sentences, and key words
Crack the general math section by learning to avoid wrong answer choices that look correct
Solve math problems by learning to turn complicated algebra problems into simple word problems
Simplify the SSAT writing sample and the ISEE essay using a sure-fire, step-by-step approach
Nail even the toughest sections: vocabulary, analogies, geometry and more
Perfect their skills with drill questions in verbal and math
Dodge the traps and pitfalls that cost them points
Learn vocabulary through review of TPR's vocabulary "Hit Parade" -- a list of key words to know for the SSAT & ISEE

*This book includes 5 full-length simulated exams, with questions just like the ones test takers will see on the actual SSAT and ISEE.
