<p>What is the relative difficulty of the SSAT and SAT?
Let the difficulty of SAT be a positive integer x. The SSAT is...? (Ex. .9x) </p>
<p>Thanks. :)</p>
<p>What is your projected SAT score?</p>
<p>I would assume it depends on the book. Is there a certain book that you have in mind? </p>
<p>Anyway, answers to the original question are welcome. :)</p>
<p>When you received your SSAT score, didn't a projected SAT score come with it?</p>
<p>I take it on Saturday. Hence, I start preparing. :D</p>
<p>Oh, lol.</p>
<p>Sorry, I think I'm confusing you with tommeister.</p>
<p>I am honored to be confused with such an intelligent person.</p>
<p>Does anyone know the comparison for the difference between the practice tests and the real SSAT? Let x equal the SSAT, and y equal the practice, as in 2x=y.</p>
<p>Well I took one practice test, which was actually a bit harder than the real thing, so maybe 1.5x=y.</p>
<p>Hmm... from Princeton Review, I believe?
Do you have any experience with Barron's ISEE\SSAT? I heard somewhere that it was much easier than the real thing. If so, it is time to start prayin' to the Physics gods. :)</p>
<p>I did practice with Princeton Review, and i have no experience with Barrons, sorry. Really, though, the math is really elementary stuff on the test, and the English section is not that much harder, especially if you've been studying vocab.</p>
<p>Would you say that vocabulary is a vital part of success with the SSAT?</p>
<p>I took the ISEE, which is kinda liked the SSAT.</p>
<p>It's really easy. I didn't study, or take any prep classes. I didn't even use a book. </p>
<p>I got a 99% in math, 97% in quantatative reasoning, 95% in vocabulary, and 88% in reading. </p>
<p>You really don't need to study for this. It's easy!</p>

It's easy!

... I guess we shall find out soon. ;)</p>
<p>Indeed, ChaosTheory. I take it tomorrow too.</p>
<p>I see. :)</p>
<p>How has your preparation been?</p>
<p>Pretty good, I think. I've studied for about four weeks, with the Official Guide, Kaplan, and Princeton Review. I think Princeton Review was the most helpful; it was the hardest, anway. On most of the "drills" I would get one wrong (in the mathematics section it was careless errors, but in the verbal I legitimately didn't know the answer). I did well on the practice tests: 2340 and 2270 on the Official (without studying), 2390 on Kaplan (after studying) and 97th percentile on Princeton Review (after more studying), but I hear that they're much easier than the real one. I'm hoping, realistically, for maybe the low 90s. Maybe. All those on CC, please send good luck for those of us taking the test tomorrow.
How has it been for you, ChaosTheory?</p>
<p>With all that preparation and those excellent scores, I doubt you would get in the low 90s. </p>
<p>I'm studying from Barrons. It has at least 20 typos in the practice tests alone. :D
I've gone through most of the book and all four practice tests. I've been getting fairly good scores, but I doubt they resemble what I will get on the real thing. I've also done (minimal) studying from Barron's SAT.
It looks like I'm going to have to improvise tomorrow. ;)</p>
<p>Yeah, I think I will too. I don't know about getting better than the low 90's, though. I'll just have to wait until they send the scores to know. I'm planning two very attention-demanding things immediately after the SSAT, so I won't have time to think about it. Otherwise I'd obsess over every question the whole weekend. Good luck!</p>
<p>It's showtime. Good luck everyone! :)</p>
