How did I do on my SSAT practice test?

<p>I got 698 in verbal.
725 in quantitive.
and 692 in reading.</p>

<p>what's the percentile?</p>

<p>Look in the practice book... Male 11th grade right?</p>

<p>And what schools are you applying to again? just curious</p>

<p>no, female and I'm in 10th grade.
exeter and andover...
it totals to 2115.</p>

<p>and there's nothing in the practice book to tell me my percentile.
I've read it cover to cover.</p>

<p>10th grade female-</p>

<p>I got 698 in verbal.: 60%
725 in quantitive.: 74%
and 692 in reading.: 80%</p>

<p>Overal: 68%</p>

<p>Nope, you don't add and divide by three. I believe that the overall percentile is based on adding up all three scores, then seeing how the total falls out among all the test takers. For example, it is possible for verbal and reading to be in the high 90's with a math score of below 80, and then have the overall score still be in the 90s.</p>

<p>That is what I did =)
I just showed the percentiles of the individual scores.</p>

<p>68%? Isn't that a bit low for a 2100? I remember I got a score around the same standard at a practice test and my vigilator told me it deff. wasn't around there...but then again does the standard change for each grade? (I suppose it makes a difference for me, an eigth grader?)</p>

<p>well if you take age into consideration the percentiles should be lower
however
68 IS way too low.
you'd probably get 68 if you fell below 2100 though</p>

<p>Your percentile is based on your grade and gender. So, if you get a 2200 as an 8th grader, your percentile will probably be higher than if you got the same score as a 10th grader.</p>

<p>Here are the percentiles from the chart in the Princeton Review book. I make no claims that they are accurate. It's just what's in the book that I have, so I'll offer it for your consideration</p>

<p>10th grade girl:</p>

<p>V: 695 - 60%
V: 710 - 68%
(698 not given)</p>

<p>Q: 725 - 74%</p>

<p>R: 680 - 74%
R 695 - 80%
(692 not given)</p>

<p>overall 2085 - 60%
overall 2130 - 69%</p>

<p>According to the chart I pulled these numbers from, for a 10th grade girl to be over the 80%tile, she needs scaled scores of V: 740 , Q: 740 and R: 695</p>

<p>Now, raw to scaled score can get kind of tricky so, for the benefit of all who haven't bought the prep book from the ssat people (which is not very helpful, except that it has practise tests), I will post the raw to scaled conversion chart on a separate thread. Remember to subtract .25 for each wrong answer from your raw score!</p>

<p>I hope this helps.</p>
