In November, I posted that DD took her SSAT exams when she had bronchitis. She did as well as she could considering she was sick. We both knew the results wouldn’t be fantastic due to her illness.

She retook the exams December 8th.

Her vebal and reading scores improved but they were already good (She tested 97% in both categories. The math scores improved significantly. She went from 44% to 67% in Math. Her overall average increased by 9%.

Retaking the test was a superb idea. I don’t know how the schools will look on a dramatic improvement in one month. Should she mention in her essays that she had bronchitis on the first exams or do we just leave it alone and let the results speak for themselves?
