[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is a senior at a W school. Took 9 APs and has gotten straight As throughout high school. I cannot think of one time she was stressed about too much work or gave up any leisure activities to study.

I am not telling you this to brag, quite the opposite: her first shot on the SAT was 1080. That should tell you all there is to know.[/quote]

OP. This is exactly the point I'm talking about and it is quite scary. Did her MAP score give any sort of indication that she wouldn't have a high SAT score in her first try? Do you remember what her percentile range was in her 9th grade MAP test? Tbh, I just don't get it. I thought MCPS is considered one of the best not in the area but in the entire country. [/quote]

I don’t remember her exact MAP score or percentages but do know that her scores were always mediocre. She always said that she put no effort into MAP so we chalked it up to that. Again, she got straight As so while we never thought she was a genius, we didn’t think it was so bad. In hindsight, I would have sent her to private school for HS. My older DD went to a private that is often scoffed at but she got a much better education.[/quote]
