<p>You have a very good chance and are well-rounded student who needs to get their SSAT scores higher. You can do this by memorizing defenitions of words and use Freerice.com. Good luck on your recommendations, interview, and essays!!!</p>

<p>Hi, I also took the December ssat!
But, don’t worry 140626, you seem like such a well-rounded person that you could probably get in to all the schools with an 88% on the ssat. The ssat is merely a qualification tool, and the schools don’t look at them as much as your personal essays and stuff.</p>
