Your SSAT percentile is a score between 1 and 99. Your score compares your performance on the test to the performances of the other students of the same grade and gender who have taken the SSAT within the past two years. For example, if seventh-grader Sue Smith received a 65 SSAT percentile, she did as well as or better than 65% of the other 7th grade girls who took the SSAT in the past two years.
If you are concerned that your percentiles are lower than you have earned on other tests, please remember that SSAT test takers are members of a small and highly competitive group of students who plan to attend some of the world's best independent schools. You should not be discouraged by what seems to be a lower score than you usually attain on standardized testing.
