<p>I took the Barron's and Princeton review practice test 2006 edition...for math i got 1 wrong for both and barron's verbal=5 wrong princeton verbal=6 wrong and barron's and princetons reading comp=1 wrong...the problem is there is a conversion chart on the princeton thing and it says if u get 1 wrong for math u go down to 94 percentile! and also for reading you drop down to 95! and verbal 5 wrong is 92! is the conversion chart too harsh or is it right??</p>
<p>This has been discusssed on here many, many times. You cannot know what it will convert to; it depends on the day, the test, your grade, and many other factors. You really can’t know.</p>
<p>Don’t obsess about the conversion chart while taking the test. Worrying about it could affect your performance. Do your level best, and concentrate on reading the questions carefully, and check your work.</p>
<p>Remember too, that the difference between a 92 and a 99 in the eye of admissions is nothing. Once you in their “range” you are in the game. Plenty of kids with 99’s get rejected. Yes, you need to be in the game, but don’t stress over the difference of a couple of percentages.<br>
The percentages are determined based on all of those who took the test over the last 2 (or is it 3?) years in your current grade and of the same gender. As others have said, the books can only give you estimates of what your percentile will be based on history.</p>
<p>95 is a great percentile, no worries!</p>
<p>what is the meaning of the ssat</p>
<p>forget about the conversion chart.
I got around 10 percentile higher on the real ssat than the practice test with the chart.
(I took the practice only two days before the actual test)</p>
<p>Don’t worry on the Princeton Practice Test Verbal that I took the night before the test I got 74%, but for the actual test I got a 99% for verbal. The actual test is slightly easier and the scoring is different anyway since it will be scaled (:</p>
