<p>As some of you may know, I received a horrendous mark in the December SSAT of 67th percentile…</p>
<p>Well I just took the January SSAT today and I think it was very, very, very, very easy!
I know I’m not the best when it comes to standardized testing but I’m predicting percentiles in the high 80’s and low 90’s. </p>
<p>So how do HADES view this significant improvement? (Not that I’m positive of a good score)
And the significant improvement I’m talking about is about 20~27 percentiles. Thanks :)</p>
<p>Someone asked GemmaV this (the AO) and she said they take the highest scores. If it’s significantly higher, I suspect they’ll figure you had the flu when you took the first one. Good luck!</p>
<p>@jerryeps,
One kid in my class knows an AO at a HADES school. He told me that she said that they really like it when a kid retakes the SSAT and does significantly better. It shows determination, and a lot of good qualities that schools like to see.</p>
<p>Even if the lower scores are submitted, the schools take the highest score from each test to consider your status. Everyone has a bad day and not all qualified students are proficient at taking standardized tests. It’s a benchmark, not a deciding factor.</p>
<p>If you haven’t reported the last scores, wait until you see how you did. If you’re wrong and there isn’t a lot of improvement - or the improvement is in certain categories - submit them both.</p>
<p>However, be prepared to do some explaining if there is a huge jump in performance since it has happened that on occasion a few students with less than stellar scores have had someone else take the test for them.</p>
I feel like I JUST HAD TEST~~ AND I FELT SO GOOD.</p>
