<p>Hi, I have to take the ssat and the isee this year and if anyone has some advice on when to take the ssat as in Oct, nov. dec. ect I would appreciate it. Is it true that you can take it twice? On the first test, you just don't give the schools that you are applying the results? ALso, anyone from nyc that is already in high school, can you say what your school is like?</p>
<p>you can take the test as many times as you want (but three is enough) and I think that the best time to take it is October.</p>
<p>He/She is talking about the SSAT, not the SAT.</p>
<p>I think you can take it as many times as you'd like. (Same with the SAT) I'm going to take it in October, so if I don't like my score, I'll try again in November.</p>
<p>What do people take the ssat for?</p>
<p>SSAT = Secondary School Admission Test</p>
<p>People take it to get into private school.</p>
<p>they take it to mostly get into boarding schools. Anyone ever take the SHSAT in nyc?</p>
<p>filma, are you taking it for boarding school? If so, so am I. lol. I'm applying to Andover, Deerfield, SPS, Exeter, Chaote, and two days schools. Which schools are you applying to?</p>
