I want to take the test in November but I’m doubtful that if I take it in November I will get a highscore. I’m skeptical though that if I take the ssat test in December I won’t get my score in time, since I would like to apply to a school that has January 5th as the deadline. I’m also unsure of weither I will be able to do all my interviews before the deadlines if I haven’t submitted my ssat score. I can’t take it more than once. So should I take the ssat in November or december?
Take the test in November… that way, if you don’t score as well as you’d like, you still get another chance. But don’t worry about schools not getting your December score in time. They get the December with plenty of time.
the time you take the test doesn’t matter as much as you would think.
AppleKid took the December and January tests two years ago. Unless things have changed since then or interview policies are different for schools to which you are applying, the December scores came out on December 23rd, and AppleKid was still able to schedule interviews for the second week of December which was BEFORE scores were released.
