<p>On the SSaT (my capitol a doesn't work!) paperwork, the students are given a predicted SaT score. Does anyone know if this is fairly accurate based on their own kids?</p>
<p>I don't really remember my SSAT scores that well, but I don't think they did a very good job of predicting my SAT scores. A lot can change in the four years between testing especially with a greater number of kids taking the SATs. I found the PSAT to be fairly accurate.</p>
<p>Don't take the SSAT-SAT correlation for real. A lot happens in four years. Its just another way to measure a kid's score, even though it is inefficient and usually false.</p>
<p>We have heard (now, I can't remember from who, but I'm sure it was a school professional of some type) that it is a pretty good predictor. They give you a range of scores and unlike the SSAT (unless they have changed it) you are judged by the actual score not by the percentile, so it doesn't really matter how many kids take it. </p>
<p>It would be interesting to see some actuals. We all know that in 3-4 years things can change, but honestly do we think a kid that scores 90+ on the SSAT is going to bomb out on the SAT? It's probably a better predictor when the SSAT scores are higher than when they are mid-range or on the low side as that is when you would normally see progress. </p>
<p>Just my thoughts...</p>
<p>Hmm...well obviously, mine would be a bit more accurate than most, since I took them abut 7 months apart, and not 3 years apart but I actually think they were a bit off. I did better on the SATs than the SSATs.</p>
<p>The predictor was pretty accurate for my son. He scored in the 99th percentile on the SSAT. The predictor said his SAT would be over 1500
and it was.</p>
<p>Results are just in for one of my kids. 98th percentile on the SSAT, 94th percentile on the SAT. Pretty close.</p>
<p>I haven't taken the SATs yet but I got in the 99th percentile on the SSATs and I hope I get the amazing scores that S of Me&BobbyMcGee get! </p>
<p>But I have my doubts as the Math section of the SSATs were ludicrously easy (Scored 800) yet apparently its hard to get 800 on the SATs for Math?</p>
<p>I was also predicted to get 1500+ so hopefully tis true</p>
