Last summer my son took a practice SSAT test in the book published by the SSAT organization. We did not know how to interpret the score, so I emailed them. A kind person let us know what the % scores would be against other SSAT takers. You will probbly have to let them know which grade you are in and whether you are a boy or a girl. You might have to tell them which test it was. Just let the SSAT people know that you understand that it is only an estimate. BTW, SSAT scores are normed against the 2 previous years of test takers (if I remember this correctly). As a result, the percentages can change over time. Also, I think starting last year, they started scaling the SSAT to the SAT. So it is no longer a max of 320 but rather 800 per test.
