[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, the scores are only one part of the equation, so while a lower score may keep a kid out completely, a higher score doesn't automatically get your kid in, from what teacher friends have said. A kid with a 136 might have gotten a spot, while the kid with a 141 didn't. I disagree that it should be all about the scores. There are other considerations.

I don't know what sort of test it was... In some tests, leaving things blank doesn't really work against you, but answering incorrectly does.

And just to add perspective: my oldest never tested so stayed at our home school, then went to a magnet middle school and is now in a magnet high-school program. And we know plenty of kids who went to the HGC but then they didn't get into middle school magnets but later  went on to high school programs.[/quote]

Is the kid with 136 also from Cold Spring? If not, it is hard to tell how the other factors play in the process. From the scores reported in this thread, my impression is that Cold Spring is harder to get in.[/quote]
