A comprehensive guide to mastering the verbal section of the SSAT Upper Level, focusing on vocabulary, analogies, and reading comprehension skills.
Not all analogies are straightforward. Some test your ability to spot subtle or abstract relationships, like cause and effect, degree, or sequence.
Understanding complex relationships is useful in science, literature, and even solving real-life puzzles!
