Expect to see some major self selection bias in the responses to this question.

Yes, composite is all that matters.

Does only national percentile composite matter or do they also consider local percentile?

What do you mean by this? We did not do any prep and had friends who did - wondering if they fared better with the prep than we did. We are in the mid 70's to low 80's.

Composite is what matters for admission or maybe scholarships. Individual scores may factor into whether kids can take honors versus regular classes is what we have been told.

As far as I know, national percentile is the only number that matters. It is the equivalent of composite SAT score. But I got a 790 on math! Nobody cares.

60s is average. You will see lots of 90s on this thread, but don't be discouraged. I am confident the schools are looking at more than HSPT score.
