[quote=Anonymous]There is no direct correlation between a standard IQ test and the HGC test. It is not a knowledge test, unlike the SAT, that you can easily prepare for. The HGC test is an aptitude test, like an IQ test, in that it measures some of your cognitive abilities and compares it to your peers'. Supposedly, you cannot prepare for that type of test. In practice, it is always better to be familiar with the type of questions they ask. Entrance to the HGC is by several criteria, including the test scores, 3rd grade 1st quarter report card, 3rd grade teacher questionnaire, perhaps even 2nd grade report cards or Terra Nova results (but more than a third of the children are identified as "gifted" on the Terra Nova so its usefulness is limited). Consensus is that test scores carry more weight than the rest - which is as it should be, since they are the only objective measure. [/quote]
