<p>You should study and take the January SSAT to bring those scores up. Horace Mann is quite often regarded as being on the same level as Brearley, Collegiate, Trinity, and Dalton, all of which are TT prep schools in NYC.</p>

<p>I’m signing up for the december 10th test. Is there anything you can suggest to boost the scores in such a short period of time?</p>

<p>i think some of you guys are ridiculous, an 81st percentile is excellent, you have a very good chance. the best schools in the nation have averages of 85-90… less even definitely…</p>

<p>well…I already signed up for the December test so I can probably improve my scores even more with this. Thanks for the feedback. Do you think the rest of my application looking good?</p>
