<p>I did a SSAT practice test and want to know how's my scores on the scale of 800. But I can't find tables showing score conversion anywhere. How's the raw scores like 60 for the first part convert to scaled scores?</p>
<p>If someone on this site does not have an answer for you, you can email the people at the SSAT site. They may provide you with the answer. When my son took a practice they helped us. However, it was in August (2005) when it was quiet for them.</p>
<p>Not sure of their accuracy but, princeton review (book) has a table that may be able to answer your question.</p>
<p>Do you mean you got a sixty out of sixty on the verbal?</p>
<p>no, I got a teeny tiny 44 out of 60 in verbal. I still have problem with vocab.
and I got 32 in reading. So what are these supposed to be in scaled scores?
I don't have that Princeton Review for SSAT, so if you have one, please put it on or just tell me my scaled scores and what my percentile would be like.
that would help a lot... ^&^</p>
<p>lumnina, my recollection tells me that PR says that getting 42 correct out of 60 will give you a score in the 90 plus percentile. I believe this was for current 8th graders applying for 9th grade.</p>
<p>"getting 42 correct out of 60 will give you a score in the 90 plus percentile". According to the Princeton Review, it says that 42 as a score out of 60 puts you in the 77th percentile for eighth grade females, 73rd for eighth grade males, and mid to low sixties for other grades. </p>
<p>Your scores (I just used the chart I use, which is eighth grade females; males is very close, and higher grade are somewhat lower percentiles). I assumed that 42 and 32 were your scores including the deductions for wrong answers.
Verbal: 80th
Reading: 75th
What did yoy get on the quantatative?</p>
<p>pckitty, i understood is as getting 72% correct gives you a 92 score. I'll have to recheck it. Thanks</p>
<p>pckitty, This comes from Princeton Review book ISEE/SSAT 2007 edition. Page 220........"Here's an example: An eighth -grade girl takes the Upper Level test. She does better than 92 percent of all eighth graders on the Verbal section. How many questions do you think she got right out of 60? 55 questions? 50 questions? Nope. Not Even close. She got only 43 verbal questions right. She's in the top 8 percent of students!"</p>
<p>Yes, I read that. I don't know if that was because of a particular year, but in the section where they have the conversion charts (page 159), their numbers say that 42 out of 60 in the verbal is the 77th percentile. That's confusing, though I'm inclined to rely on the charts, since that was an example.</p>
<p>pckitty, the chart speaks to only the number of questions you need to attempt to get that percentile. That's weird, I guess to get a 92 you need to attempt to answer 52 questions. Hmm that crazy, check it out though, that number we are referring to is not the number of correct answers its the number to attempt.</p>
<p>Oh, I see now, prepparent. That's very confusing, don't you think? Well, I'm glad I've taken it already. It was very confusing to prepare for it, since every my books all had different scoring practices.</p>
<p>Ok, what if it's for ninth grader? what percentile it would be to score 45, 50 or 55 out of 60 in verbal, according to the Princeton Review?
and also in reading, what's the percentile for 30 and 35?</p>
<p>The Princeton Review book only give the number of questions you should answer for a particular percentile. It assumes that you will get some wrong.</p>
