[quote=Anonymous]Agree with 17:56 that the whole package is more important here and there is a real track record to go on for high school admissions. SSATs are a lot more like SATs (in fact the reports give you a predicted SAT score) so the percentiles are normalized. Also the SSAT population skews upwards since anyone taking it is applying to a private secondary school (my DC got an 81%ile on the SSATs but the national norms were in the mid to high 90's). At a recent Sidwell event I think they said that 85%+ was the norm on SSATs. ERB scores, if you do those, are also submitted as part of the application.[/quote]
