[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I do not have analogy books or test books, only the kind of books that you read -- and I have rooms and rooms of those. In any case, the verbal and quantitative abilities are equally strong. DC did not practice anything before the SCAT exam. Has taken the SCAT once before, to test into a GT program for the lower grades.

Is this an interrogation? Seriouslu, I do not mind answering your nice questions, but I hope that this is leading to pertinent information regarding my OP question. Thank you.[/quote]

There is no correlation between SCAT and SAT scores.  Different exams with different strategies ... the latter penalizes for the wrong answer and the former does not.  Therefore, guessing is more strategic.  Longer exam (SAT).  1/2 hour writing component (SAT).  SAT (math) doesn't use the &gt; or &lt; or = answer format as SCAT.  That said, kids that read and are studious and work hard year round in time will usually do well on both exams.[/quote]

Thanks, very helpful.  I will advise DC against guessing unless they have a pretty good idea of the answer.[/quote]
