SSAT/ISEE备考策略与模拟试题(本科教材) 内容简介
ssat和isee是美国、加拿大等国知名私立中学极其重要的入学考试，其考试成绩是决定申请者能否被申请中学录取的重要参考指标之一。
ssat/isee考试内容分为数学、词汇、阅读和写作几个部分，主要考查考生的逻辑思维和发展潜力。前三个部分为计分项目，写作部分虽然不计分，但也需要重视。ssat数学部分的考查内容均不超出国内初中数学的知识范围。中国考生目前*困难的两个部分是词汇和阅读，特别是词汇，中国初中生的词汇量普遍较低，为了取得一个理想的分数，考生需要尽早开始准备。阅读一般考7～8篇文章，来源非常广泛，题材和体裁五花八门，有时甚至考查短小的抽象诗歌。在快速的阅读和做题节奏下，考生势必需要具备在快速阅读中掌握主题和定位细节的能力。
在国内ssat/isee图书极少的现状下，本书的出现是广大考生的福音。本书除提供有针对性的备考策略、复习计划及考前指导，还详解了考试各部分的重点难点、题目类型、答题思路和技巧。书中提供了大量例题、习题，以及4套模拟试题，考生可在考前进行自测或实战演练。
希望通过本书的学习，考生能够全面、快速掌握ssat/isee的知识体系，在考试中取得理想的成绩。
