Interesting. Our kid’s friend (coming from the same school and applying to the same school) got their results via email today but we haven’t received anything.

I received DC's scores via email, with previous practice tests we only knew the percentage correct, from what I understand the composite score is typically 10% higher than that +/-.

Assuming this is true, DC scored higher than expected based on the practice test score.

DC, and the family, are all very glad that the application process is officially done!

Who did the email come from?

Ours came this afternoon from someone with @ststesting.com address

Overall score not bad...not in the 90s though.... What I'm shocked by is kid's best subject by far and best scores on MANY practice exams was math, and it was by far their worst. Doesn't add up. Would likely have been overall in the 90s w/the math score i'd have expected. Thankfully, they overperformed on reading and language well above expectation. Almost like their alter-ego showed up for the exam. strange.

Interesting - our DC had the opposite experience. Usually does better on language/verbal but math scores were stronger, surprisingly. Maybe because DC concentrated more on math for prep.

We also have a DC who's strong in math, weaker in verbal, and math was his next to lowest score.

Well, standardized tests are far from perfect and thankfully just one part of a whole package.

Just one interview left and then we're done.

Good luck to you all and may the odds be ever in your favor!

Just got our 12/3 test date score by email.

Rocked a 95%

We only got the 1 page summary report. Did anybody get a more detailed report?

We just got our scores, surprised they are generally lower than the ERBs though I guess that goes to a different population. Our 95% ERB kid is an 85% HSPT kid, though I think that's probably good enough to get in to most schools.

The Catholic high schools do interviews now too?! Dang.

I don’t think there is more than the 1 page report?

Did anyone's score report include local norms or just national percentiles?

[Anonymous]

We got local norms on practice test, but only National on actual HSPT.
