When I look at my Language Arts STAR testing, my scores from last year are 96th-98th percentile. But my math was much lower, only in the 78th percentile. Two weeks ago we took our 8th grade 1st quarter Language Arts STAR test, and I think I performed similar to last year or improved. I took my 1st quarter Math STAR test today, but I’m not confident I did much better than 80th percentile if I’m being honest. We take them again in January or early February, and they could improve by then if that isn’t good enough(I don’t think it is based on what I’m reading). When we took K-PREP(if you aren’t familiar with that it is state testing in Kentucky, I believe. I’m relatively new to public school so I’ve only taken it once) I scored higher on math by far. My scores were both high, probably the 2nd in my grade in math(one kid got a perfect score) and possibly 1st in LA. I’m not at all 100% about ranks on K-PREP, but I think I was above the 85th percentile in my state on both tests. These were my tests from 6th grade so my memory is hazy. That is a low expectation they could be higher. Since I don’t have much time to prepare for SSAT, what would you recommend? As I mentioned in my previous post, I have already completed Algebra 1, and am taking Geometry. Is it likely I will retake these classes? I have also seen some other people in this thread saying that taking 9th grade at home, then retaking it is an option. Is this something you would suggest for me?
Volleyball is far more important to me than cheer, so that is something I think is essential to my high school experience. I’m not big into any sort of arts, so I don’t think I would do well in a school with a heavy focus on that. I think I would be able to do well in a more athletic focused school. I also have an interest in the French language and possibly culture.
Thank you for reading!
