We have heard (now, I can’t remember from who, but I’m sure it was a school professional of some type) that it is a pretty good predictor. They give you a range of scores and unlike the SSAT (unless they have changed it) you are judged by the actual score not by the percentile, so it doesn’t really matter how many kids take it.

It would be interesting to see some actuals. We all know that in 3-4 years things can change, but honestly do we think a kid that scores 90+ on the SSAT is going to bomb out on the SAT? It’s probably a better predictor when the SSAT scores are higher than when they are mid-range or on the low side as that is when you would normally see progress.

Just my thoughts…
