<p>Our experience is that one can score 99% across all sections in SSAT, and one still needs to work hard to keep at “A” level in top schools. On the other hand, those who have had solid training in middle school but haven’t been the best test takers can do well too. In general, I think SSAT is a pretty good indicator of academic preparedness, especially when there has been no extensive test prep/tutoring and repeated test taking.</p>
