    I took the test on December 19.
    I was pretty confident in math, but when I took the test all the questions I was confused on were either 7th or algebra math. I’m currently taking geometry, so I haven’t been able to brush up on algebra. As a result, my percentile in math was a 90th. Pretty bummed but I was super happy with my verbal score!
    When I first took verbal practice test, I was in the 5th percentile. But then, after lots of self studying I managed to bring it up to the 98th percentile in verbal!! I’m really happy about that.
    For reading I was placed in 90th percentile.
    My overall score was 2260/2400 and my percentile was 94-96 percentile.
    Pretty happy about that since I was expecting to be below 70th percentile. But I’m also bummed because I didn’t get to do well in the math portion of test.
    Good luck to all that will take the test!

      math: 99 percentile
      verbal: 96 percentile
      reading: 97 percentile
      its pretty hard if u dont study well just do a little bit every day. CONSISTENCY IS KEY. for verbal, just memorize ssat vocab words and like 6 synonyms for them (7 words memorized per word) for reading comp, just learn reading strategies, for math just do all middle school math and some algebra 1. i recommend getting an ssat book bc they give a lot of tips and similar questions to what will be on the test. i personally recommend princeton review bc thats what helped me.

      Hey! Honestly, I haven't taken the test in over 6 years, so I don't remember much from it, but my best advice would be to do as many practice tests as possible. Once you take them, go over the answers and see what you got right or wrong. Getting familiar with the test helps improve your score a lot!

You need to be a well rounded applicant and that includes grades, test scores, essays, activities, etc. I didn't do the best on the SSAT, but the rest of my application was very strong.

      from what i know, the school im applying to focuses on the percentile for each section, the overall doesn't play a huge part. also yeah the ssat isn't a big part of ur application, ideally your percentile should be floating around the 80th percentile, and the school I'm applying to has an average of around the 85th percentiles so this is just purely knowledge from the school I'm trying to go to but I believe it should be around almost the same . go for 85th percentile or more if you want to!

      I'm late but how was it? Mine is in a month and I've been practicing for like 4 months and I'm still nervous about it since I want to get atleast a 80 percentile but I'm afraid the test will be way harder than the practice tests I tried out.
