[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone here seems to seriously underestimate how hard it is to qualify for USA(J)MO. 99.9% of high school seniors have never qualified qualify for USA(J)MO (actually, more like 99.99%). No one qualifies in middle school without a concerted effort and extreme acceleration, be that in school or out of it.[/quote]My kid is also grade skipped in math by a couple of years[/quote]
Outside of regular AAP math, how did she accelerate beyond that?

We are in MD not VA. It is unusual but not impossible to get grade accelerated in a subject area if you request it and they test very well. [/quote]
What did testing "very well" look like in her case?[/quote]

Since about the 3rd grade, her MAP scores have looked like the 99th percentile scores for 11th graders. We used that as evidence to request they promote. Also, they had her take their own test. I do not know the details, but it was some algebra readiness test) which she got a perfect score on. [/quote]
