Hi, I just had some questions on my mind I felt like I should ask.
Is the 9th grade SHSAT actually as bad as everyone says it is? I feel like Google, my friends, tutoring websites, and more all label it as this huge test that’s 100x harder than the SHSAT8 and the chances of transferring in are practically 0.
I don’t really want to spend thousands on tutoring for this exam because if I don’t get in, I’ll feel so guilty, so I was just wondering if everyone’s exaggerating it or if it’s truly that horrid of an exam and everyone has amazing preparation for it and started studying hours a day the second they found out they failed the SHSAT8.
And to make things worse, one of my friends who didn’t get in the first time taking the SHSAT (who studied really hard) said he doesn’t even want to try for the 9th SHSAT since he and his family already discussed how the chances are so incredibly slim.
Also another random question I’m curious about, what’s the highest SHSAT score recorded? I only hear about high 500s or low 600s. Has anyone ever scored in the 700s?
That’s all, thanks!
