Materials
Official SSAT Guidebooks
The only source of current-format official SSAT practice tests. Get middle and upper level books (use mid-level for intro work, upper level for dress rehearsal).
Princeton Review: Cracking the SSAT & ISEE
Best all-around SSAT prep book. PR SSAT has been known for decades for its excellent strategy, math, vocabulary sections. Two full-length practice tests.
Kaplan: SSAT & ISEE Prep
Great companion to PR SSAT book. Longer reading passages reflect recent changes to the SSAT. Good strategy, math, vocabulary sections complement PR. Two practice tests.
Peterson’s: Master The SSAT & ISEE
Mini-tests for synonyms, analogies, reading, math plus two full-length practice tests make this book the next in line for SSAT prep. If possible, get the 8th edition.
Barron's SSAT/ISEE
Plain vanilla SSAT prep book. Two practice tests. Good ol' "drill & kill" math section. Not tops, but given the dearth of good SSAT practice tests, you may need it.
McGraw-Hill Education SSAT/ISEE
Last in line. Three more practice SSAT tests, plus additional verbal, math, reading exercises. Use longer ISEE reading passages as proxies for SSAT reading.

Other
Official SSAT Online Course
SSAT's lackadaisical excuse for an online prep course. Tests can't be printed, reading passage are too short, but extra official math/verbal material is helpful.
ExamEdge
Online course offering full-length practice exams, subsection tests, explanations for answers. Great for self study, tutorials. Superior to SSAT official online course.
Varsity Tutors Online SSAT Materials
Hundreds of free quizzes and full-length mock section tests offer practice with SSAT content, questions. FYI: some parts badly designed (difficulty too great, etc.).
