<p>@2010 hopeful</p>
<p>That’s good to know. Sadly it’s the antithesis (an SSAT word I learned, ha!) of Quantitative. Since it was easy, the percentile will probably be skewed. I expect a good score but not a high percentile. I’m still optimistic though.</p>
<p>so how was the test? I found the maths super easy but yeah the percentiles will be skewed, verbal was so haard</p>
<p>People (including my best friends) are taking the SSATs this very minute in my cranny of the universe, so, good luck guys!</p>
<p>I think the test wasn’t that difficult, I might have gotten an 80 some this percentile… Who here took it at elenor rosbel high school, I am foreign but took it in NY</p>
<p>i omitted 9 questions and im guessing ill have mistakes in the verbal section so i know i failed that <em>sniff</em> <em>sniff</em></p>
<p>math was pretty easy, there was like one question that i did not get (but it wasnt real math 
) so im expecting a good percentile</p>
<p>reading was ok i omitted i think three questions </p>
<p>writing was ok as well, it was grammatically correct, it answered the prompt but it wasnt fantastic</p>
<p>I did similar to supermariobro.</p>
<p>I took mine today, too. I found it a lot easier than my friend made it seem. Then again, there were definitely some trick questions.</p>
<p>@Teerin, as long as your schools match up well with your interests you should be fine. I’d suggest lobbing in a call to the tennis coach at each school you’re considering and providing him/her with any detail about your skill level. Same with the music/film teacher. Most schools want you to be passionate about something and preferably be able to demonstrate some accomplishment. If you’re a highly competitive tennis player you could probably have success even as a late applicant at a top school so long as your grades/scores are reasonable (i.e. within 10-15 percentile points of the school average).</p>
<p>How was it possible for me to get a 98% on the reading comprehension? What kind of people are taking the SSATs anyways… HA</p>
<p>Verbal: SO EASY! Reading: SO EASY! (this is coming from a person who got 56 percentile and 39 percentile on the previous test)</p>
<p>Math: Well I underestimate the level of difficulty and I slowed down my pace and I couldnt get a grip for questions 20~25 -.- Screwed up baddddddd. </p>
<p>There was this question on Stephanie and the two gas stations; anyone notice there are two possible answers?</p>
<p>^ you can’t assume you did really well this time even if it seemed easy. the havent received the scores yet.</p>
<p>Compared to decembers ssat: Math was easy, 1 or 2 slightly confusing questions. Reading much easier. Verbal was difficult. Essay was surprising and took some time to think of.</p>
<p>did everyone who took the SSAT today have the exact same test or did some people have a different essay?</p>
<p>@jerryeps: I remember that question, but I only saw one possible answer…</p>

Just different essays.</p>

It is between (A)4 and (E)Gas station T is at a marker
Calculating, the final step could be done two ways. Adding or subtracting. If you add, you would get 189 which gives you the answer (A). But if you subtracted, you come up with 135 which gives you the answer (E). I realized this because they didn’t mention which direction T was as compared to S. </p>
<p>Diagram: (Determine gas station t)
160 - 162- - - - - -S- - - - - - - - -T(189) <– that’s 189
160 - 162- - - - - -T(135)- - - - - - - - -S <– that’s 135</p>

<p>I never mentioned I did good, did I?</p>
<p>After all, I CAN stay positive and optimistic, right? 
Wish for the best.</p>
<p>What was the topic of the essay?</p>
<p>^ the topic of my essay was along the lines of “it is harder to get out of trouble than it is to get into it”
I gave what I considered to be great examples, the Recession and quicksand and I wrote exactly 1 page!</p>
<p>thank you so much ! it seems like the essay topics were different in each test because smb said that s/he had a completely different prompt.</p>
<p>is there only one page to write?</p>
<p>and also guys, were there any tricky words in the verbal section that you remember? confusing math problems?</p>
<p>im applying for sophomore year in September, so id want to get a pretty high score on the SSAT.</p>
<p>Just got back from taking it-- they rescheduled for Sunday due to inclement weather.</p>
<p>Reading: Hard-ish, but probably only because I got bored since this is the second time I’ve taken the test and I only retook for math (I got a 743/96th on reading last time).
Verbal: Analogies were pretty hard. I got an 800 last time but probably not this time.
Math: I don’t know. I think I did better than before, although considering that on my first test I thought I did pretty good and got a 695/48th, I can’t really tell at this point. :P</p>
<p>FAILED on the essay. At least the essay from my first test was good xD</p>
<p>I picked that gas station T was 1 mile from a marker.
The math question I didn’t get at all was the one about articles… They never said how many the guy needed… And I had to just leave the tricycle/car one blank. Tried plugging in answers and it didn’t work for some reason. Looking back, I now think I know how to solve it, but during the test my brain was just like “…”</p>
