[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 9th grader got 1330 on PSATs.   His grades have been mediocre since 7th grade.   Dipping down to D's frequently, then struggling to end with mostly Bs.   He is a very curious and clever child, just not a great student.   Hopefully, good testing will balance out the ok grades.

You might want to keep an eye out for ADHD. Executive function issues show up in that way for smart kids, with significantly better tests scores than grades.[/quote]

Yes, been looking at adhd and anxiety for years.   But since he is overall happy and I am guessing fairly high iq,  never sought a diagnosis.   I am a medical professional, and tend to avoid too much intervention.    He is really a strange bird.   Tj would have been perfect for his interests, but not the workload.[/quote]

We’re going through this too. ADD, anxiety and perfectionism.  Never more convinced that highly gifted kids need a special education than I am now. 1510 SAT (first attempt, no prep) and weighted 3.0 GPA. Wish we had known sooner. At least do CBT for anxiety and test for ADD. Mindset work if perfectionism is an issue.

And so as not to derail the thread, I’ll play.  That SAT score. So happy for DC.[/quote]
