In most of our estimates, we identify it’s very rare that the school itself tells us exactly what their SSAT requirements are. However, for Lawrenceville, we have several estimates straight from the top boarding school’s website and recent past publications of the school.
Straight from their admissions pages, they answer the question: What is your SSAT score average? Read more
Just a quick reminder that boys and girls score differently. As a result, we’ll share what it takes to score well for each gender specifically. In the following, you’ll find what raw score it takes to score from 80% to 99% (a “perfect score” on the SSAT) on the verbal section of the SSAT. Basically, you’ll learn how many questions out of the 60 possible questions on the Upper Level of the SSAT are needing to be correct.
In order to obtain the gold standard of SSAT scores, you need to be able to get Read more
In an effort to give prospective SSAT takers (and their parents) a better idea of how most students perform on the competitive exam, we will break down past data and simplify it as best as possible. Please note, we are starting with a very general question and will illustrate how it is better asked when being more specific. We will attempt to answer the aforementioned question in the title as efficiently as possible along with addressing more specific versions of it in our explanation today.
First off, we need to define a few terms:
It would be easy to simply say that overall, the average SSAT score is 50% out of 100%. However, the questions that should be be immediately asked are: Read more
Boarding School Review, a popular online information portal for boarding schools tells us that the top 5 school is one of their highest SSAT scoring boarding schools:

As with any top boarding school, St. Paul’s School’s (SPS) admissions requirements are quite high. As we’ve already reported, the top 2 programs in the United States have standards that approach almost perfect. St. Paul’s in Concord ranks as as high as the #3 boarding school program in the United States. Being a top 3 private institution, you’ll see it requires very high scores.
From their SPS at a glance from their admissions for 2018-19, they tell you:
NEW STUDENTS FOR FALL 2018
Applications 1374
Percent admitted 16.8%
SSAT Middle 50% Quantitative 710-767
SSAT Middle 50% Verbal 686-758
SSAT Middle 50% Reading 674-725
However, these ranges depend on what grade the student is and what sex. We’ll make an assumption that most of these kids are 8th graders applying to start their 9th grade at SPS. Applying these assumptions, the median for admitted applicants are estimated as:
Quantitative 710-767 (72-94%)*
Verbal 686-758 (68-95%)*
Reading 674-725 (63-93%)*

You could easily argue that prospective students should score as high as 99% Percentile for the SSAT for Phillips Exeter Academy. At the same time, as we’ll repeat time after time, it depends on all the other aspects of a student’s application/profile. For example, if you’re an Olympic grade sprinter or child prodigy that’s discovered a new element to add to the Periodic Table, you may not need to score as high as a student who lacks other characteristics Exeter may be looking for in a future alum.
With that said, most future applicants are still looking for guidance (as well as their parents). Without further adieu, we’ll provide all the guidance that’s been documented online.
In a 2013-14 guide provided a test prep company that provides insights re: boarding school admissions, they identified the above as their bottom line. At the same time, in another online publication of theirs, they point out that 94% Percentile is their average.
Considered a top 25 US boarding school, the Hill School offers a wealth of educational opportunities for its alumni. As a result, many potential candidates and their parents are curious as to what SSAT scores are required for admission.
As mentioned in our profile, the Hill School requires percentiles between 75%-85% according to the Boarding School Review. They post an 80% for the average SSAT score in their profile of the boarding school.
In a post on College Confidential, they list off the average SSAT scores for many of the top boarding schools. They estimate Read more
It might be a bit confusing as to what a student needs to accomplish in order to score high on the SSAT Exam.
For thousands, if not tens to hundreds of thousands of students throughout the world prepping for the SSAT to get into elite eight schools association schools like Hotchkiss, you have to wait until you finish the exam and get your SSAT scores before you find out you are a 93% Percentile or a 99% Percentile or maybe even a 50% Percentile. However, when you’re aiming for a Top U.S. Boarding School or even many other International Boarding Schools that accept the scores for their admissions, you don’t know exactly out of the 60 Verbal Questions or the 50 Quantitative (Math) Questions or the 40 Reading Questions you need to get correct.
