<p>I recently took the ISEE and my scores were:</p>
<p>Verbal: 83 percentile
Quantative Reasoning: 85%
Mathematics Achievement: 77%
Reading Comprehension: 55%</p>
<p>These are horrible scores and I'm applying to Exter, Andover, Middlesex, Deerfield, and St. Mark's School. These schools have already recieved my scores. I can't retake the ISEE. Is it worth the money to try again and take the SSAT?</p>
<p>Which stanines did your scores fall into? (You don’t have to answer, I’m just pointing out that you shouldn’t panic.) I’m not an expert, but I think the stanines are more important for the ISEE than the percentiles. </p>
<p>I don’t suppose it could hurt to take the SSAT. On the SSAT, you may opt to receive the scores first, and send them to schools if you think they’ll help.</p>
<p>Stanines were 7, 7, 6, 4.</p>
<p>If you were my child, I’d recommend taking the SSAT. The reading comprehension seems out of line with the other sections.</p>
<p>ehh, I’m taking the SSAT in December.</p>
