[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did a quick count. My local HGC is Barnsley. My kid is in 1st grade. So I looked at the K numbers (because the data is from last year). There are 2124 kids in all the feeder schools who are currently in first grade. If 500 kids were to take the test (in another 2 years) that would mean that ~23% of her contemporaries would believe they have a shot at being in that top 2-3%. That doesn't seem like it should be the case. So 500 definitely seems too high. But who knows, it might just confirm what we all know - that our kids are all geniuses![/quote] At that age, being top 10% or top 25% may not feel that different? Being top 2 or 3 should feel different though. But kids and parents need to try. I can believe the 500 number.[/quote]
