[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]My DC has never been test prepped. My feeling has always been that we want to know DC's "natural" abilities. DC reads voraciously, is a stellar student, and we have always been told by the teachers that s/he needs to seek more studies and intellectual advancement outside of school. We try to fill this need through online courses and summer camps.

Because he was not prepared for standardized testing, DC's 7th grade performance on the SCAT (12th grade norm) came as a pleasant accomplishment, though not necessarily a surprise -- given that we live with him.[/quote]

For how many years and how many times has your son taken the SCAT exam?

Is your son familiar with analogies?  Do you have analogy work books in your house?  Did he practice analogies before taking the SCAT? [/quote]

I do not have analogy books or test books, only the kind of books that you read -- and I have rooms and rooms of those.  In any case, the verbal and quantitative abilities are equally strong.  DC did not practice anything before the SCAT exam.  Has taken the SCAT once before, to test into a GT program for the lower grades.

Is this an interrogation?  :D  Seriouslu, I do not mind answering your nice questions, but I hope that this is leading to pertinent information regarding my OP question.  Thank you.  :D[/quote]
