I was thinking about retaking the SSAT in January, but by the time the scores come the deadlines will be up. Can you still send the scores?
I’m also amidst the application process, so I’m no expert, but it seems to be generally preferred by schools that you submit your scores within the deadline. I would recommend retaking sooner, but if January is your only option, you can send your scores to schools late as long as you give them an explanation. Again, I’m also just a prospective student, so take this with a grain of salt.
(And good luck!)
When you have all the scores on hand and know which one you want to send in, but make sure its within the deadline.
