<p>I'm applying for Poly Prep in NYC
I barely studied for the test though because I prepared for the SHSAT and thought that it'd help me on the test too, but the verbal section was SOOO hard!!! out of 60 questions in verbal, I only got about 40 something.. and I left the rest blank.</p>
<p>Also, how important is the SSAT essay? For Poly, we have to write a separate essay on our own for the app, so I'm guessing that the home-essay is more important. </p>
<p>what did you guys think?</p>
<p>I actually thought it wasn’t too bad. Math went really well, which was good because it was what I’d studied for the most. Reading comprehension also went well. Verbal, I think, could be a bit better though. :P</p>
<p>I agree, so what school are you applying for?</p>
<p>omg, i’m so glad thats over! The vocab was and rreading were easy but i struggled a bit on the 2nd math part :/</p>
<p>Vocab was medium, I think I did ok, maybe like 2-10 wrong and like 3-4 blank.
Math was EASY, nothing stood out as hard to me.
Reading was EASY, pretty much the same as math.
Also, I wrote a good essay about Corn Flakes :). And personally I think SSAT essay matters a lot because it shows how you think on your feet and how you make an argument.</p>
<p>vocab was so hard for me because i didn’t study
I had 17 blank!!
do I still have a chance for poly? or should i retake it</p>
<p>Vocab was hard! Probably 12 wrong!</p>
<p>Math was super easy.</p>
<p>Reading comp was okay, probably got 1 wrong.</p>
<p>My essay was a mess, but it was written alright. I ran out of space and had to write two lines on a typed line space thing! How was I supposed to know that my intro took half the page! I thought I was writing tiny, but apparently not small enough.</p>
<p>For me, verbal was medium… left like, 3 blank, probably 2-8 wrong… you never know!
Math was so easy!! I answered everything, and guessed on this question about subsets. I had no idea what they were.
Reading comprehension was also not bad, I feel good about it.
The essay was awesome, I finished with two minutes to edit and filled up the whole space with neat handwriting. Nothing thought-provoking, but solid and well-constructed in my opinion.
I feel I could have prepared more, such as taking more practice tests (only tried one) or studying more vocab. There was this one word that I had seen before but failed to memorize. Hate that feeling! My goal is above a 93%, and I’ll be happy. :)</p>
<p>the Subset one was hard, but I think I got it right after discussing it with other people. Wrote an awesome essay about corn flakes and the reason as to why it was discovered and how that leads to the importance of an _____ (not supposed to say topic.)
For vocab i pretty much had what shutterbutterfly had…</p>
<p>Vocab was a lot harder than in the practices in Princeton Review but still OK, Math was as good as could be expected and reading comp went alright. I think i did fairly well though</p>
<p>soo when do results come out? I thinking of retaking it on the 9th, but all forms for the school that im applying for are due on the 23rd of january</p>
<p>I think i read that the December 12th results should be out by the 30th. Way to make me new year lol. If i do poorly my sister will never let me hear the end of it…</p>
<p>online it said the 26th.</p>
<p>i only omitted a few. I think i may have gotten some wrong though 
<em>anxious</em></p>
<p>My essay was awful! When I first read the prompt, I was confused about what it meant! And even when I finally understood it, I had no idea what to say. I just wrote whatever I could think of, and only took up about half the page! The rest went pretty good, I think. The verbal was easier than I expected!</p>
<p>at first i though i did well but now im convinced i scored in the 70s, i think im going to retake in january</p>
<p>Everything was easy except the vocab and the second section of the math part.</p>
<p>I don’t know if I’d say it was easy… Math was just a nightmare, as expected. However, I’m notoriously bad at determining how well I did. This one time in the 7th grade, I got the second highest score for our age on our Nat exams and I thought I stuffed them up, prepared my parents for a 70th percentille. Another time I was sure I did fantastically and had screwed them up. Im not a testing person at all but I do realise that tests are part of life and I have to get through them</p>
<p>omg!
im soo happy that i got that over it!
no more studying every night!
wooooo…haha
the verbal wasn’t as hard as i thought it was going to be…
i just hope i get 80% and above =)</p>
<p>I wish id studied more, I consistently scored 88> on pracrices so I didnt think I really needed too… Paying for it now in worry. Glad it’s over though :)</p>
<p>Hey Raven, when do your scores have to be sent in?</p>
