How was everyones SSAT today?

Prep School Admissions
1

<p>Any major effups? Any major excitement due the fact you're fairly certain you aced it?</p>

<p>I'm in between... I kicked A$$ on the reading... feels like a kicked butt on the math (never know how many traps I may have fallen for), and the verbal was fine - I didn't get perfect, I know that, but I did very well.</p>

<p>Also, question: if I'm not happy with my scores for this month, how do I pull of a January registration? I don't get the scores until late-ish December, and the registration deadline is like the 19th or something, so how can I manage?</p>

<p>I took it today at Bangor, ME!! Anybody here took it there??
I'm positive I aced math section.
did OK on reading. there were four or five questions I was unsure.
BUT verbal went terribly.. hoping that the admission office will consider the fact that I'm an international student
I think we will get the score report on 26th. If you are uncertain about your performance today, I would highly suggest that you register for January too.. just for the sake of safety, because Jan will be your last chance if you don't wanna apply as late applicant</p>

<p>I'm positive I close to perfect if not perfect on reading...The ones I answer on Math seemed pretty easy. But I ommitted 5 questions on each math section...will that mess me up?</p>

<p>I studies so hard for verbal so I could imrpove that score...ended up not doing great like I wanted.</p>

<p>I think I did okay. Math was pretty good, I had a few questions I'm not sure about though. </p>

<p>Reading was my second best, just a little trouble with a question or two.</p>

<p>Verbal was terrible. There was so much I think I did bad on.</p>

<p>On Math it depends. Out of the 10 questions from the Math section you omitted, could you eliminate any of the 5 choices at all? They could have really hurt you if you could have eliminated 1 or 2 from each.
WARNING: The math section produces "clustered" scores. You omitted 10 total, that might put you in the 70-80%. Your percentage will be alot lower than your composite score most likely. You might have a 750 scaled score in the math section, and that will give you a much lower percentage than a 750 on the Verbal section.</p>

<p>Yeah dude I dunno why, but I'm 99% sure I aced my reading! I was done with like 15 minutes to spare, so I went over each answer and entry like 2 or 3 times, and no err! So, you never know... but this is definitely better than the other alternative.</p>

<p>I DID see someone! He was at Andover when I saw him! He was a weird kid... thats why I remembered him. And I live in Toronto, Canada, so that's why it was so hilarious!</p>

<p>Anyways... good luck to everyone!</p>

7

<p>Ya Im fine with 80% in math if I could pull that off...cuz thats a 750 and then 800 in math...but then idk about how I did verbal. that section just messed me up</p>

<p>Verbal is the only section on the SAT/SSAT/PSAT/ACT/EVERYTHING that you can come out of thinking, "Wow, perfection" or "Dear God, why did I take that section?". The same person may say those two very different things. Some people got lucky and really thought that every word they were asked was either a word with a latin root or something they had studied.(I used a little tally on my hand to keep track of that... I wouldn't have remembered unless I did that and then copied it down at home... It really helped me when I looked back on the sections... I couldn't remember that information when I got my scores back without doing that).</p>

9

<p>I got lucky on a couple easy latin roots popping up. No words I studied came up..so w.e</p>

10

<p>Also, if we take the Jan. 10 ssat, will the schools receive it before the deadline? Or does it even matter...aslong as you take it before Jan 15.</p>

11

<p>hi..i was supposed to take the SSAT's today, but it got cancelled(luckily)..i have the same problem..i'm pretty confident with my math, feel ok with reading, but i'm really worried about vocab.</p>

12

<p>will memorizing latin and greek root words help?</p>

13

<p>bleh. 2008's january ssat was sooooo much easier with verbal. other than a few questions in that one, the others were pretty dayum easy :D</p>

14

<p>I did all the math, and to be honest I have no idea how good I did. I think I got them all right, but I for some reason didn't feel very confident.
On the practice test I got 800 on the verbal, but I omitted one, and I guessed on a few, so I don't really know how good I did, but decent at least I hope.
Reading was easy. I was pleasantly surprised with the how easy the poem was compared to my practice poems.
And the writing was manageable, although I'm not quite sure I got my point across, but hey...</p>

15

<p>Ya my poem was easy as hell...just about some girls talking about how her boyfriend is looking at to many people in class.</p>

16

<p>did we all get the same test form?
my poem is similar to yours..</p>

17

<p>did any one take it at fessy???</p>

18

<p>hey the ssat was pretty simple
I couldn't do one of the math problems but aced the math
the reading was ridiculously easy, and the verbal....
was ABSOLUTELY F****** HARD
jkjk but it was dang nab irritating</p>

19

<p>Wait, we're talking about the upper level right?</p>

20

<p>Ya. Math was easy but I took to much time and ommited to many. Im guessing Ill be from 85%-90% overall..</p>
