<p>I am a regular lurker on this page and have learned so much from all of your posts, so thank you for all the advice and information. I have a son who is a current 9th grader but will by applying to boarding schools as a repeat 9th grader. We received his SSAT score and even though we registered him as an 8th grader, he filled in the box as a 9th grader and we are unsure of which grade was used for determining his percentiles. Based on historic information, it appears that they graded him as a 9th grader. I have an inquiry into SSAT, but haven't heard anything back and may have to wait a few weeks for a rescore. For curiosity's sake, I was hoping parents or students would post their Scaled Score, their percentile, their grade and their gender. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Again, here's the information I am hoping to receive.</p>
<p>Gender:
Grade:
Verbal: Scaled and %
Quantitative: Scaled and %
Reading: Scaled and %
Overall: Scaled and %</p>
<p>Thanks again for all of your help and best of luck to all of you in your application process.</p>
<p>I don’t think it would help you much. I once looked into the SSAT scoring procedures. Each iteration of the SSAT exam has its own degree of difficulty. The testing experts at the SSAT produce complicated formulas to “norm” each exam sitting. It is possible to get everything right, but not receive a perfect score, if that particular exam is less difficult than others; conversely, some test takers can make a few mistakes, but post a perfect score, if that iteration of the SSAT was more difficult than the normed standard.</p>
<p>The best guide would perhaps be the chart included in the SSAT prep book sold by the SSAT organization. I assume that would be more up-to-date than a random sampling of CC posters.</p>
<p>Thanks Periwinkle. Predicting the SSAT percentiles does seem to be nearly impossible. To clarify, I was looking specifically for test results from the October 12, 2013 SSAT.</p>
<p>His scores would be correct if he was grouped with other 9th grade boys. SSAT scoring is based on his current, not future, grade and gender.</p>

<p>Actually, SSAT does a decent job with this, so you should look up the table in the official guide book. Or you could look up the chart that I have converted from the same book, posted here:</p>

<p>As I wrote [post=16516325]elsewhere[/post], it was quite accurate… at least for the October test.</p>
