SSAT Score Getting Worse

Prep School Admissions
1

<p>I took the upper level test in the spring (7th grade). I’ve been taking practice tests now and my score is declining. I received a 96% back then and i’m proud to show that to my schools but some of the schools asked me to retake them. On these practice tests my score has been getting worse and worse. It is still within the schools range AESD but it’s not nearly as good as my initial score. Is this because i’m in a lax enviroment and i’m taking these tests with a pococurante attitude? </p>

<p>Pococurante is my word of the week. It means nonchalant. </p>

<p>And i’m leaving tomorrow nights to head up north for AESD visits.</p>

<p>I think maybe you are right and it IS your Pococurante attitude. LOL<br>
Don’t stress over it! Even if it is a couple of points lower, you’ll be fine. The teachers here say that you don’t usually go down in subsequent tests. </p>

<p>I’m glad you to hear you are still doing the AESD visits. I hope your mom feels better about the schools after the visits. Good luck.</p>

<p>P.S.
We’re visiting SPS this week too - maybe we’ll see you! LOL</p>
