[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WTH!  Why is Burke the only independent high school left in DC that still requires the SSAT???  The admissions website even acknowledges that it is difficult to get the test done in the middle of a pandemic, but then says go find a way to take it.  [/quote]

Yes, it does seem out of step with other schools because Burke says that it is hard to take the SSAT during the pandemic, and then directs applicants to a list of educational consultants that Burke says will charge an extra fee to provide a flex test version of the SSAT.  I hope Burke reconsiders.  We like the school a lot, but don't want to have to pay hundreds of dollars and risk our health to go to a testing center, when the other schools on our list for DC don't accept scores this year.

You don't need to - the SSAT can be taken at home, and I've seen a couple schools require that:
ssat.org/testing/home/guide-to-the-ssat-at-home[/quote]

Don't see it as worth doing just for Burke when others aren't requiring it.  No other school on our list is requiring it.[/quote]

Burke's Applying page says they're not requiring it next year!
