No she hasn’t taken the SAT. She is in 9th grade. Why would you think she has taken the SAT already? [/quote]

What the heck do you mean “that’s what gifted kids do?”  What school gives kids the SAT before high school? [/quote]

[b]Gifted kids and kids who score in the 99% on standardized tests are invited to take the SAT or ACT in middle school as part of a talent search. [/b][/quote]
+1.  This isn't a new thing, either.  I took both the ACT and SAT in middle school 30 years ago while living in flyover country.  [/quote]

+1  It's not just for paying programs--my kids in FCPS were invited from Davidson Scholars/Javits and other places for free services triggered by some test score that I didn't ever submit to take the HS SAT in 6th/7th grade.    But I'm not sure if the Naglieri group test would trigger that process as it's not as robust as others.  In school your daughter will have taken a 9th grade version of the PSAT but it's not a true SAT so you couldn't use that for admission to any of these programs if you were interested.  If the 160 Naglieri reflects a pattern of profound giftedness evidenced in other tests, you should look to Davidson Young Scholars as a resource (it's free).  THey don't consider Naglieri  as evidence though so she might need to get an IQ test or take the full SAT.[/quote]
