[quote=Anonymous][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]

So you are saying the HGC kids ended up not being able to get into middle school magnet AS WELL as high school magnets?  Is it burn out?  It's a long road ahead.  My kid just got accepted and I rather that he play not and worry about academics later.  Would not prefer burn out.[/quote]

Chill.  Some get in, some don't.[/quote]
