Because the math test in North America is generally simple, in this case, you only need to memorize English math vocabulary to avoid reading questions in the examination room, and then do some exercises to familiarize yourself with the questions according to your own situation. The task of reviewing is light, but we must pay special attention to it.
Preparation of SSAT composition:
SSAT's composition test is not a total score, but only sent to apply for high school reference, so it is not as important as mathematics, vocabulary and reading. However, since the composition will be sent to the application high school for reference, please pay enough attention. In the process of writing preparation, we need to prepare a template of the beginning, end and middle conjunctions first, which can save the examination room time. In addition, we need to model 20-30 articles and master a set of our own customary expressions. In this process, you can get twice the result with half the effort by giving the written article to the teacher for revision.
SSAT vocabulary and reading preparation:
Vocabulary and reading are particularly important in SSAT, among which vocabulary is the most difficult part. Compared with vocabulary, reading is relatively simple, which is the key to whether candidates can get more than 2200. Vocabulary is the basis of reading. Without a solid vocabulary, articles are difficult to read and scores are difficult to improve. The vocabulary part is more difficult, mainly because the SSAT test requires higher and lower vocabulary.
The level of vocabulary is about 7000, and the level of vocabulary is about 8000.
Relatively speaking, domestic college students only need about 4000 words for CET-4 and 6000 words for CET-6. So for junior high school students, it reaches 7000.
Even with a vocabulary of 9000, it takes a lot of time to remember words. According to Kaplan,
Princeton and other authoritative textbooks have more than 2,000 words for regular examination. Students who are short of time can recite the words summarized by the teacher first, which will probably take 10 times to recite; If candidates have enough time to prepare, they can recite TOEFL or SAT words 5- 10 times after reciting the words prepared by the teacher, which is of great benefit to improving their grades. Although the vocabulary part is difficult, its scoring method is not very strict. If you make 30 mistakes in 60 questions, you can get a score of about 650 points (out of 800), so students can get better scores as long as they spend time. Reading is relatively simple to vocabulary. On the basis of excellent vocabulary, students can control the wrong questions within five lines as long as they train within a limited time according to the methods taught by teachers, thus achieving more than 700 good grades.
In view of the above review content, students had better set aside 2-3 months to review. If the purpose is to go to the top 20 high schools in the United States, they need better TOEFL scores, which is also what students need to make great efforts. The vocabulary, reading and composition requirements of TOEFL are basically the same as those of SSAT, so on the basis of preparing for SSAT, students only need to work hard to improve their listening and speaking.
The improvement of SSAT test scores requires students' long-term efforts. If you concentrate on conquering English for 8 hours every day within 2-3 months, you will definitely do well in SSAT and go to your dream American-Canadian high school.
