*SSAT score confusion*

Okay. I don’t want to sound mean or anything but my scores were below 60’s when I first took it. I’m among the 2 top students in my grade at school. I have friends that aren’t in the honors program and don’t get grades nearly as high as mine and they scores in the high 90’s as well. It might depend on the test, how well the student can take an “aptitude” test under a certain level of pressure, and which test they took. I heard the November’s verbal section was very easy, yet I found the January’s section very hard. SSATs aren’t everything. I consider it the least important part of my complete application. I don’t know if AdCom thinks the same, but I do. A 3hr. 45min. test can’t really tell how you can handle a workload. I think the recs, essays, transcripts, and parent statements reveal more about yourself about how you will fit into their environment. Anyways, congratulations on your high SSAT scores and good luck with whatever schools you may be applying to. =]
