[quote=Anonymous]Sorry, I know this is kind of ridiculous to ask, but I'm curious.  Is there any way to get a sense early (like middle-school age) of how your kid might do on the SAT/ACT?   Do SAT/ACT scores tend to connect pretty closely to their percentile on other standardized tests, like MAP?  What about other tests, like MCAP or other standardized tests taken in other districts/states (we're MCPS)?  Or more cognitive/IQ-based tests like CogAT?  Or is this line of thought just silly and there's no real way to guess at all if your kid isn't a 99th percentile kid (and maybe not even they are)?

For folks with kids who ended up scoring around 1400 on the SAT or 30 on the ACT or above, what kinds of scores did they previously get on other tests?  Did their SAT/ACT scores end up coming in around where you would have expected based on those, or not really?  Any other indicators that suggested to you earlier on that they might be likely to score above or below the percentile they tended to get on earlier standardized tests?

Sorry, and thanks for indulging me!
