Teaching a smart kid to study

[Anonymous]

I'm OP, back again.

All As (not A- or A+). I don't know if the school gives A+.

By studying, I mean reviewing notes/chapters/etc in advance of tests. He absolutely does assigned reading (in English and history anyway) and participates in class discussions. He does homework that is submitted for a grade (ie, essays in English) but does not do homework that is not graded (ie, math problem sets).

In that case, it sounds like DC is achieving the highest marks in all classes.

Here is what I would do for a gifted.
Self study APOS math.
Prepare for AIME, then AMO, then compete for team USA. Step by step.
Conduct extracurricular research with a college professor. Prepare for Regeneron ISEF.
Apply to RSI, MITES, SSP, etc.
