[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] I wonder how much depends on hold good the local schools are? I'd guess that if the local school is really good you might not feel the need to apply and vice versa. Also, how many people really have an idea how their kids rank compared to other kids? For many this would probably be the first time their child took an aptitude test that was directly compared to other local kids.[/quote]
