[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS”s handwriting is atrocious and his art work is crap, love the boy but his writing is just bad and he is not an artist.  He was accepted into LIV first round. He did well in school, had strong test scores (135], and good GBRS (3CO, 1FO). He dis used things he learned outside of school that related to what they were doing in class. He read books that tied into what they were learning in class when he finished his work. He did the extra work available and then read or wrote stories for fun. He is an easy going kid who doesn’t get in trouble in class.

We read to him at home, played lots of games, and went to some museums. He plays sports and does Scouts. There is no magic formula. [/quote]
Of course there's no magic formula.  There are ways to maximize your kid's chances.  With a different 2nd grade teacher, your kid could have gotten FO or even OO for creativity and motivation.  Your kid then could have been rejected by the central committee.  Some teachers are really bad at understanding gifted behaviors and give very low GBRS scores, even for kids who are objectively highly gifted.  If your kid ends up with one of these teachers, your best bet is to make sure your child stands out in a positive way.  Pretty handwriting, pretty art, raising your hand a lot, doing all of the extra busywork, and coming across as a friendly, pleasant child will help earn a high GBRS.  [/quote]
