ByErin LynchISEE, SSATComments Off on Tip of the Week: How to Use the Personalized Prep Plan
The Prep Plan is one of the best places to see the targeted practice exercises you should be working on. You can access the Prep Plan by clicking on the tab on your Dashboard. Here are some insights into using the Prep Plan to help you succeed:
After you complete a section of the test, the system will automatically recommend practice exercises for you to complete, based on your wrong answers. These recommendations will change and be added to, based on each new section you complete.
The Prep Plan will also keep you on track when it comes to using the system’s tools. It will remind you when it’s time to take the next Practice Test, and prompt you to utilize the Analysis and Summary tools.
If you work with a teacher or tutor, whether a Test Innovators tutor or someone else, they can use the Prep Plan to assign you homework. Any assigned practice will appear with a little green “HW” banner above it.
Remember to take your practice exams in calm, non-distracting settings, get adequate sleep (especially the few nights before your test), and relax and breathe, both as your prepare and on test day.
Get resources: full-length SSAT practice tests, level-appropriate vocabulary lists, a watch for test day (and practice sections!), a quiet place to complete timed sections
Help students eat well, sleep well, and exercise often
