SSAT scores are out!!!!!!!!!!!!

<p>Periwinkle thanks 4 ur response</p>

<p>I tried asking various admissions offices about cut off scores (b4 the test).</p>

<p>But that seemed like a question they did not want to answer.</p>

<p>Math seems not to be her strong point... </p>

<p>However, In 7th grade she did score 2pts from a 4 on NC algebra 1 EOC<br>
end of grade test. A test which mostly 9th grader take.<br>
This was a pretty decent score.</p>

<p>She took the SAT's in 7th gr and got 520V 440M 500 writing</p>

<p>She looked at a princeton workbook the evening b4. the ssat.
we got it from the library that Fri.
really don't want to retest but I'd have to ask the school admiss
again and c what they say this time.</p>

<p>i got a
Verbal Score 623
Math Score 626
Reading Score 617</p>

<p>im applying for 10th grade. should i retest? and what is a good score for acceptance?</p>

<p>stikienickles, could you post your percentiles. it would help us give you a better answer</p>

<p>stikienickles, depends on where you are applying. the ssat is just one thing schools look at anyway.</p>

<p>Wow! You all did great! Congrats! </p>

<p>I was just wondering if any of you has some advice for preparing for the Upper level Test. I am aiming for 94%, or somewhere around that, and since you all did so great can you tell me your test taking stradegies?</p>

<p>im applying to westtown </p>

<p>Verbal Percentile 25%
Math Percentile 17%
Reading Percentile 23%</p>

<p>I would defiantly retest, stikienickles.</p>

<p>how much higher do they need to be?</p>

<p>On Boarding School Review it says the average score is 67th percentile.</p>

<p>Westtown</a> School - Boarding School Profile</p>

<p>okay thanks. how do i know the average score.. it says</p>

<p>Personal Score Range: NA, SSAT Percentile 17%</p>

<p>or do i have to get 67 for verbal, math, and reading?</p>

<p>The average of your 3 scores should be about in the 67th percentile.</p>

<p>stikienickles -- There was an Admissions Rep from Westtown who posted on this board way back when. Take a look at what he had to say about SSAT scores <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/prep-school-admissions/201014-new-forum-prep-school-admissions-3.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/prep-school-admissions/201014-new-forum-prep-school-admissions-3.html&lt;/a> It doesn't hurt to re-take, but you might ask Westtown Admissions what their range of accepted students is. Perhaps you can even pm the Admissions Rep who posted. Good luck!</p>

<p>stikienickles, you should take the test again but dont despair. the average of 100% and 0% is 50%. get my drift? </p>

<p>if they average 67%, then there is a range from 99% to 10% or lower possibly. i assume you have more than test scores to bring to westtown like sports, drama ability, etc.</p>

<p>NOOO !!! I did REALLY bad!!! I'm definitely retaking (WITH THE EMAIL PACKAGE ahaha) in January or February !</p>

<p>i'm so sorry Jonathan! what were your scores? i tried to pm you, but your box is full, go clean it out!!!!</p>
