[quote=Anonymous]It's the scores on 2 tests (NNAT in 1st and CoGat in 2d) plus a teachers eval (GBRS) plus some bureaucratic secret sauce that is unknown. All the gifted kids get in, none of the struggling ones do. The stress comes at the boarder. If your kid is shy and unassuming you may have difficulties with the GBRS if the teacher does not adjust for that (most do). If your kid is not a "test taker" then their scores on the tests might not reflect their ability. The bureaucratic secret sauce is the must frustrating since their is no objective measure and it's quite not transparent. Race matters, if you're black or Hispanic you'll get pushed over the edge, if you're white or Asian you might get held back, but really, it's a secret. My advice is not to worry, have your kid study hard and see what happens. If you're on the edge, take the WISC and appeal. And DCUM does not represent the real world....[/quote]
