SSAT writing sample

Prep School Admissions
1

i have 2 questions regarding the SSAT writing sample.

When I super-score, which writing sample will AOs look at?

How much does the writing sample matter in my applications?

At a Exeter event the head of admissions said that the writing sample on the test is something they look at the most, because it is the best look they can get at you without polish, just a raw picture of you

ruhroh :skull: which one will they be looking at though? Both of my writing samples are a little bit questionable…

i wasn’t aware that was allowed lol but if you give them two they would probably look at both

I would assume that, if you sent both of your score reports, the schools will look at all of the information included - all of the scores (even if they superscore) and both of the writing samples.

OK makes sense, thank you!!!
