SSAT Conversion Charts

Prep School Admissions
1

<p>Alright, so I am planning to take the SSATs next Saturday (the 12th) and took a practice test. I have been preparing; this really isn't last minute btw.</p>

<p>Anyways, I took a reading test, and I saw that if you got a 30 raw score you already had an approximate 78% percentile? Which means that you got 8 questions wrong, if you do a little math.</p>

<p>Correct me if I'm wrong, but is that really true? Because I have been getting about 4 wrong in practice tests on average...and if I end up getting around an 80% that might really hurt me in the admissions, as well as my final score...</p>

<p>I'm not completely sure how the scoring works, I know it's based off of how well you did compared to other people.</p>

<p>So...basically, I'm asking if the scores in the conversion charts are realistic.</p>

<p>Well since there is only one week left, you might find studying roots and prefixes helpful. Also, take a look at practice tests and try to study any words you don’t know, because they might pop up on the real test. You never know :P</p>

<p>WishStar, do your best to get a score around your average. There is a big difference between 30 and 35. According to SSATB, they are equivalent to 78 and 94 percentiles, respectively.</p>
