Now seems 9B is better than 9A.


9B is not better or worse than 9A.

A means that the child’s scores are consistent across all three tests.

B means that two of the scores are consistent and there is a relative outlier, either lower or higher than the other two.

C means that the three scores are spread out with a clear low, middle, and high score.

E is an extreme example of either B (outlier) or C (spread).


Read the pdf with your results. There is a link for more info about the profiles and it’s all there.

Also, I’m finding it hilarious that only the parents of 99th %ile kids are responding. Is everyone else less crazy? (Maybe.)

Except it is. Competitive magnet admissions depend on these scores.
I'd say, out of all the scores above, 20:35 has the best shot. My own child got 54, 50, 45 and I'm positive she won't get into any magnets but will, most likely, be picked for enriched MS courses. We'll see in about a week.


Few kids get in so why worry about it. They can take ap in high school. It amazes how competitive parents are.

Verbal is probably 3 standard deviations, much less than the rest of 5 standard deviations, thus being a "weakness". LOL
