It is usually paired with the ISEE. Many people like the Princeton Review. By the way, most boarding schools also accept the ISEE, so if for some reason your student does better on it, those scores can be submitted. Check with the schools first. ISEE is usually for day schools and SSAT for boarding, but because some students apply to both, then usually both are accepted. I haven't looked at the SSAT for 4 years. It probably still has an analogies section. If yes, see if you can find old SAT books. The SAT removed analogies around 2005. Anyway, the SSAT was similar to the SAT's easy questions before then. You can use the easy questions from old SAT books for additional exercises in SSAT prep. Some ESL students may find analogies the most difficult. Good luck!
