[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP didn’t say that SAT scores in general are highly correlated with IQ.  SAT scores of middle schoolers at the very high end of the score range are correlated with IQ.[b]  Kids who have college level skills at age 12 are probably gifted[[/b]/quote]

Well sure.  But lots of gifted kids probably haven't had the opportunity to learn the advanced math necessary to do well on the SAT by the time they are in 7th grade.  And I was in the gifted program in middle school and didn't take the SAT.   I don't remember it even being discussed.  I'm sure there are schools that offer it to their students, but it is certainly universally given to gifted middle schoolers. [/quote]

[b]It's not from the schools--it's from a national non-profit program. I actually don't know how they know kids got a >99% score on a standardized test but you get an invitation to take the SAT to qualify for services.  So not all kids in gifted programs would be eligible[/b].[/quote]

My daughter got an invitation to apply for a program that required us to pay for the SAT so that she could apply, however since the program was ridiculously expensive, we didn't bother.  [/quote]
