<p>I'm wondering if any of you have seen much variation in your SSAT score. And this includes if you studied or took a class between tests, or even if you spent months studying.</p>
<p>I see a lot of kids' scores, and I never see much improvement. Maybe at most, I see a 10% point gain---like a 54% to a 64%. </p>
<p>I know there are a lot of high scorers on this board, so I'm wondering---did you ever test in a lower range? And for everyone else, did you scores stay fairly consistant between the times that you took it. (Statistically, this is how the test is supposed to work, but I'm curious if it is true)</p>
<p>heyy.
i had SUCH a hugeee increase on my ssats
in octoberr, i took the ssat (first standardized test everr) and got 49% overall.
i took it again a month later (with lots of studyingg) and received an 82%.
30 percent differencee xD</p>
<p>I took practice tests and scored around a 93%. I took it and officially got a 99%.</p>
<p>EDIT:
I should mention that I have always been a "pressure/momentum worker". Meaning: My grades always stink the first mid-term(6 weeks into the school year). I get into the pace and normally end with about 6% higher in each subject. I think my score jump was because when I took the practice tests(during the summer) I wasn't in the "pace" of test taking.<br>
My GPA now is a 94% weighted and 90% unweighted, it was 4% lower during midterm and it rose by 4% in six weeks. By the end of the year it will be almost a 98% weighted and 95% unweighted. </p>
<p>That is what explained my score jump... I think.</p>
<p>My son's math score increased by over 40 percentile points between the Oct and Nov tests. He thought that he had misbubbled the first go around and maybe he did. But he went through every math question in the ssat practise book and made sure he knew not only why the correct answer was correct, but what reasoning flaws would lead him to the wrong answer choices. My personal theory is that he fell for a LOT of math traps in the Oct test and after analyzing the answer choices, was able to see through a lot of problems. It is still his lowest section, but his overall percentile is in the 90's now (thankfully).</p>
<p>idk if you count testing in two different yrs but here's my case: last january when i took the SSAT i got 51% (10th grade, female) and this october when i retook it i got 91% (11th grade). during the summer i just worked with some books in SAT critical reading and that really boosted up my reading score from around 60% to 97%</p>
<p>My d's math scored jumped 20 points from June to October. The big difference was that she was a smarter test taker the second time. On the first test she answered almost all of the math questions. The second time, she omitted quite a few answers. If she had answered all of the questions she omitted and got them wrong, she would have had the exact same number of incorrect responses as she did in June in one of her sections. She had a slight improvement in correct responses in the second section, but again she omitted more than the first time. Being a smarter test taker and slight improvement in one of the math sections helped improve her score.</p>
<p>Yes, I've seen people's scores decrease a little bit, but never a lot. Thanks to everyone who answered---it looks like a few people have seen some big increases. But overall, I do think most people stay within a 10% range no matter what they do.</p>
