HSinNH Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Mom-brag alert--- Abby scored in the 85th percentile on her SSAT!! From the SSAT website: First, one must remember that the purpose of an admission test is to offer a common measure of academic ability, which can be used to comp​​are all applicants. In the case of the SSAT, the test-taker population is a relatively homogeneous one—students applying to college-preparatory private/independent schools. Given this, it is important to keep in mind that the test taker’s scores are being compared only to students in this academically elite group. If all students performed well on an admission test, it would lose its value in helping differentiate between and among candidates. Most people are not aware that a "good" admission test question is only answered correctly fifty percent of the time. The overall difficulty level of the SSAT is built to be at fifty percent. Thus, it’s fair to say that the SSAT is difficult because it is supposed to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
