<p>Who took it? I just got back and I think I did about the same as last time. I'm hoping for above a 50, though!</p>
<p>I just got back too! Verbal was harder but reading was easier.</p>
<p>i got mine back a little bit ago. i thought the math was easy, but my scores may beg to differ.</p>
<p>I got back about 20 minutes ago. Verbal was definatley tough but the reading was uber easy.</p>
<p>Hoping for at least a 90.</p>
<p>Good luck to all the people that took the test! Want to know something really weird? Last time I took the test in December I had a dreadful cold. I was supposed to take the test today but I got good scores last time so I cancelled the test day. Today I have a horrible cold again! It's so ironic! LOLZ</p>
<p>How many questions did you guys omit in each section? Crickett, what did you get last time?</p>
<p>I omitted two questions in the first math section, three in the reading, seven or eight in the verbal, but I originally had 20 questions I omitted, but narrowed the ones I weren't sure on to two or three choices, then guessed. On the last math section I omitted four or five questions.</p>
<p>AGSAABS, what did you get on the Dec. date?</p>
<p>Jonathan, what did you get on the last one?</p>
<p>43 overall - 56 V, 54 R, 26 M.</p>
<p>what schools you applying to?</p>
<p>I took it today. ommitted 4 on the quantitative reasoning everything else went pretty well though</p>
<p>Andover, St. Paul's, Taft, and Groton.</p>
<p>My son took it for the first time today -- he said it was easy (but he isn't the best judge of a test). He omitted 2 in the verbal, said he was confident on everything else -- we are expecting somewhere in the 50%, but hope to be pleasantly surprised. He was right at 50% on two practice tests.</p>
<p>anyone know the answer to the question about some gold buried 5 meters aways from a tree and the girl is 20 meters away from the tree, how far does she have to walk to get to the treasure. he choose undefined as his answer -- but wondered what everyone else thought.</p>
<p>On the last SSAT, I got 82 overall.
I omitted 12 on the vocab, 2 on the reading, and 1 on the 2nd math section.</p>
<p>do you think the schools look at verbal/reading more important than math...or the other way around...or neither?</p>
<p>I think its equal</p>
<p>hsmomstef, I put 15 feet because 20-5 is 15, but in retrospect that doesn't really make sense..lol</p>
<p>he didn't put that down because she could have been 20 feet on the other side of the tree -- so that would have been 20 + 5, or she could have been closer to the treasure, which would have been 20-5. I guess we wait and see -- how long before the scores come out if you do the email notice thing.</p>
<p>hsmomstef</p>
<p>I'm surprised your son took the test for the first (only) time today. As I recall, the email thing takes about 10 days. I hope the news is good.</p>
<p>For all</p>
<p>I don't know about the SSAT but the results of most standardized tests there is a huge clump of raw scores near the middle. They're designed to be that way unlike mosts tests in school. There is much less difference in the raw score between the 40th and 60th percentile than between the 65% and 85% so going from a 40 to 60 in the SSAT is unlikely to make a difference for most applicants to very selective schools. IT's still low for them, whereas the difference between a 70 and a 90 could make a big difference. If on the other hand the median for a school is in the 60's it could be more of a factor because your score has changed a lot in comparison to their student population.</p>
<p>It was unanwserable. We coudln't tell where the gold was because they only said it was within 5 ft of the tree. It could have been 5 ft on the far side of the tree making it 25 ft. or on the close side of the tree making it 15 ft.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure it said five feet from the tree, not within five feet.</p>
