<p>What about your SSAT’s?</p>

<p>Middlesex: I just noticed you are a black belt in karate! That seems like a great EC! How many years did that take you?</p>

<p>Must of took ages. Achieving a junior black belt took me 5 years!</p>

<p>I didn’t take the SSAT, that’s why I put my PSAT score up. The SSAT isn’t really designed for my grade.</p>
