[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why—b/c to make it to Hunter R2 you need to score around the 99th percentile in an IQ test.[/quote] I mean yeah but those tests are not *exactly* the most reliable assessment - hell, the fact that they admonish people on their admissions page not to prepare kids in advance for them and insist that they'll be able to tell if you do kind of gives away the whole game. My kids' old school district used to do IQ tests regularly for a state requirement and one of my kids got a 99 one year and a 63 the next; I don't know what they're measuring, but it's not something consistent or immutable at any rate. I suspect most schools have more faith in their own assessment process than in Hunter's, which is why most of them got rid of those tests years ago. Maybe one or two specific admissions officers will glance at it with some passing interest, but if they actually wanted to see applicants' IQ scores they would require an IQ test.[/quote]
