Getting Practice Test Questions From Other Sources

5. Search the Internet for SSAT practice information. Keep in mind that many of these sites are looking to sell you something, like a book for instance, so be aware of this and search for sites with free, reliable information.
6. Check the credentials of the publisher before spending any money to purchase materials.
7. Investigate SSAT practice test resources or referrals with your guidance counselor.

Tips & Warnings

• Websites other than the official SSAT website might not have actual test questions appearing on the SSAT. To get the most accurate practice test, purchase it from SSAT.
