<p>I took the SSAT at the beginning of the year as an 8th grader(upper level) in 7th grade.
I didnt prep for it, and i think i can do better but what would happen to me if i showed these scores?</p>
<p>Verbal 704 75%
Math 761 87%
Reading 707 86%
Total 2172 86%</p>
<p>It looks horrible to me, and if you need any other info i will give it to you. my bday is oct. 12/95 so i have just turned 13.</p>
<p>Those are perfectly fine scores. Anything in the mid-80's puts you in the game at pretty much ANY school. Not to worry. No guarantee of admission (but then again neither is a 99% for that matter), but you have no reason to stress over your score.</p>
<p>synonyms r:20 w:1 o:9

<p>i think i can get a full score for math. total wrong = 7 its easy =)</p>
<p>@Linda
what school are you attending?</p>
<p>it's definetly not horrible. those are good enough to apply with but if you want to raise it, by all means go for it.</p>
<p>they are acuatlly qutie good. I think with some prep you could get those scores into the 90s and that would make it so you were a contender for any school</p>
<p>my total gpa for 7th grade is 3.78 (if that helps at all)</p>
<p>as long as your in A average your good. You also want to have a good amount of ECs. What ECs do you have?</p>
<p>what are EC's?</p>
<p>ohh. do EC's have to be at school?</p>
<p>at school i only am on the academic team, but i had participated in computer club, band, Words of wisdom(club)((we dont have a lot of EC's at school.))</p>
<p>outside of school i do tennis, swim, umm, ski, piano, tae kwon do, and i travel(a lot of vacations) i dunno but around the neighborhood i play basketball and football.</p>
<p>not really sure about anything... lol</p>
<p>:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
At school I have participated in the school band (saxophone), the Computer Club, Words of Wisdom, and I am currently on the Academic Team.
Outside of school, I train in Tae-Kwon-Do (expecting Black Belt in the spring) and do volunteer work 3 times a week, have tennis class for two hours on Tuesdays and Sundays, and swim a few times a week. Around the neighborhood and with my friends, I play basketball and bike a lot on my free time.
My family and I travel a lot as well. Most of the time it is for vacation, but I have learned a lot about culture and language from places like China, Canada, Netherlands, Greece, the Caribbean, Yellow Stone National Park, and some states like Alaska, Florida, and Hawaii.
I have played piano for more than 5 years as well. I regularly have classes and play every day. My sister plays as well and we do duets together.
Swimming has also been a great influence on me, ever since I started 4 years ago; I swim for fun and for exercise as well. Fishing has also been an enjoyment, and lake fishing yields great results. And on many ski resorts and mountains, I have enjoyed skiing every winter, since I was 4 years old.</p>
<p>btw i am applying for
Andover, Exeter, Deerfield, Lawrenceville, and Peddie</p>
<p>i dont' think ECs necessarily have to be in school but they have to be something beyond academics in school</p>
<p>It does not have to be part of the school.</p>
<p>Pretend you took the upper level test in the 7th grade and got a good score, can you use that test score instead of taking them again in the 8th grade???</p>
<p>Probably not latin5555. You would need to ask the school, but most want a current year test.</p>
<p>Ok, thanks. :-)</p>
