<p>all those boarding highschools (especially TSAO like Exeter, Andover, Choate, etc.) require from 89 to 95th percentile on the national thing.
but what score is that, briefly?</p>
<p>I just started to study SSATs, yeah, I know it's pretty late. I have to take it in less than a month and I don'k know a thing!!! :D</p>
<p>2000 is appr. 95% i believe.</p>
<p>Here are my scores and their corresponding percentile</p>
<p>Verbal 336 89%
Math 349 95%
Reading 318 86%
Total 1003 94%</p>
<p>You should buy the Kaplan book- they will have the breakdown at the back of it</p>
<p>PR is a good one too. </p>
<p>And no private HS require certain SSAT scores. (I myself got in with a 66 on the verbal, 90 overall). Its just that lower ones need to be offset by other factors.</p>
<p>If you have trouble with SSAT, consider ISEE.</p>
<p>Mathwiz, no offense or anything, I'm just wondering--were you a legacy?</p>
<p>Stupid question... what is the SSAT?</p>
<p>it's basically the entrance exam for high schools that you take.</p>
<p>Oh, ok, thanks :)</p>
<p>Glad that's SOMETHING I don't have to worry about! Thank goodness for public schools :D</p>
<p>is your public school good?</p>
<p>Yes, it's actually an excellent school. [url=<a href="http://lhs.fuhsd.org%5D*link*%5B/url">http://lhs.fuhsd.org]*link*[/url</a>] if you're interested :)</p>
<p>hmmm... it does look pretty good. how many go to ivys?</p>
<p>Actually, I'm not sure. I was wondering about that... I'm dreaming for Stanford, so I wanted to know how many go there, too. I think I'll email the counselor about that...</p>
<p>I hated the SSAT.
I wish I took the ISEE for a number of reasons... (it's not like I got a bad score or anything--I just hated it)</p>
<p>why didyou hate it? the isee is accepted by a lot of the top schools, including exeter, which is why i took both. the isee is generally better with 4 choices instead of five and no analogies, but they give like NO time to finish the CR... UGGG!! Oh well.</p>
<p>uh the score mus be like 800/2400, top 95%?</p>
<p>if you mean top 5%, then its around 2000-2100</p>
<p>we're talking about SSAT not SAT</p>
<p>yeah many people here are confused with the sat.</p>

<p>This isnt true at all. There is no cut off. And there are a good deal of people who get accepted with lower percentiles. That is their midrange, just so ur not confused.</p>
<p>gdf, where are your dedication pages?</p>
<p>"hmmm... it does look pretty good. how many go to ivys?"</p>
<p>OK, I got the info. Here's the number of students that went to each college from the class of 2005: (not sure how many were in the graduating class, but this year in the entire school we have about 1800)</p>
<p>Brown: 1
Cornell: 3
Harvard: 1
Princeton, Columbia, Dartmouth, Yale: weren't on the list-- I guess there wasn't anybody
U Penn: 1</p>
<p>So it looks like 6 Ivy-League-ers.</p>
<p>And also:</p>
<p>Stanford: 3
MIT: 1
Carnegie Mellon: 1
Johns Hopkins: 2</p>
