Order the study guide for the SSAT. It provides full-length practice tests as well as other features to aid in preparing you for the application and admission processes. The book is available online on the SSAT website but it is not available for purchase in bookstores. (See Resources.) After navigating to the site, click on "Order Study Guide." Enter your contact details and payment information to place your order.
Contact a local prep facility like Kaplan. They specialize in preparing people of all ages for standardized tests like the SSAT. For a fee, they can assist you with strategies for taking the test, as well as SSAT prep tutoring or classes. (See Resources.) Review their offerings and decide if they are good for you.
Go to your local bookstore and find SSAT prep materials. Purchasing your own book or books is ideal because you want to have the ability to fill out the tests. Take as many practice tests as possible. Time yourself so that you are navigating through the sections of the SSAT in an efficient manner.
Review your exams and textbooks from school, as a supplement to practice tests. Although they are not official SSAT prep materials, they certainly will not harm your preparation for the test.
Register to take the SSAT. Once you have prepared for the test, register on the SSAT website. According to the SSAT site, "You may test on all eight national or five international test dates." In case you do not perform well on your first test, you do have a certain amount of flexibility to retake the test.
