ISEE or SSAT ? which score to submit?

DD is applying to PEA and PA. Took both ISEE and SSAT. And in both tests, she only got 1 problem wrong in reading section, perfect score for the rest. However, SSAT report says 99th percentile for all 3 sections. ISEE shows 96th percentile for Reading and 99th percentile for the rest. Which score is better? And which test does school value more?

Thanks,

Both tests simply tell the schools that your child is capable of handling the work at either school, and that is all they are used for. Her scores on both check the box for academic aptitude. You can send either or both. If you are concerned, you can call each school directly and ask if they have a preference. As the scores are not borderline, neither one will be used to boost or determine her admission decision.

Thanks for your reply. It’s very helpful. We now know what to do next.
