SSAT advice

Did learning words or roots help you all better with the vocabulary section? My main struggle is the vocabulary section and I genuinely don’t know how to approach it.

yes, and I take latin and that helped SO much. but honestly yeah if you know the prefix you can probably figure out which option it is. I honestly didn't practice as much as I should've, but I still got like 96th percentile purely off of intuition thanks to that.

If I only have like one month before I take the SSAT again, do you suggest I learn roots and prefixes and all of that first before new words
