<p>I understand that very few 11th graders would take the test. (The hormone bit was an attempt at a joke.) Also, it is probably a very very different group of kids, even if the number of test takers were the same. The 8th graders who take this test probably represent the top 10% of all eight graders. I don’t know if the same can be said about the 11th grade testers. By the time 11th grade rolls around, most of the top kids have already made it into their schools of choice and are focusing on SATs. </p>
<p>I’m trying to think of a scenario where an 11th grader would take the ssat. To apply as a PG, wouldn’t schools require the SAT?</p>
