<p>Title sums it up... :-)</p>
<p>My kids took October SSAT, daughter plans to retake, husband wonders if January is too late for that.</p>
<p>During our visits to schools, the DOAs have said that the January SSAT’s were fine and wouldn’t be too late. Would your daughter consider taking the 12/7 test if timing is a concern.</p>
<p>My daughter took it a second time on the January date – whatever the earliest one is. The school was fine with that. You should be fine. The downside is that some studying needs to be done over Christmas break. :-)</p>
<p>Talk about waiting to the last minute, my son took the test for the first and only time on Jan 5 last year. Very high in the verbal, lower in reading, and even lower in math. Did not keep him out of a very selective school so don’t get obsessed about the scores. I believe the teacher and school recommendations weigh more the the ssat score as long as the academic performance is established.</p>
<p>DC also took first and only test on January 5th last year. There were no problems getting the scores to the schools on time.</p>
<p>Thanks all! We have a Dec. conflict. D is glad to have study time during winter break.</p>
