    Hi Dottie,

    the Math Olympiad course thru CTY sounds like a lot of fun!!

    My DD has taken several courses thru CTY and she really enjoys them. I usually sign her up for math, but I think we may just try one of their writing courses this summer. My DD is suddenly into poetry writing.

    Nope, nothing here yet. Six weeks this Saturday........

    crisc just sounded like she needed some good news. I was hoping maybe she got some today.

    Me, I'm just curious about my DS's scores more than anything else. smile

    I got my dd's SCAT test results today. She did great in both verbal and quantitative.

    I was looking over their tables/graphs and noticed that boys in general seemed to have done much better than girls in both math and verbal. Any thoughts on this?

    Before I get attached to the tables/graphs I fist have to understand them!! Maybe boys are smarter...

    Actually, she did great. If I did my math right she scored in the top 2% of both boys/girls combined. Much better if I only use girls stats. Based on her raw score she would qualify for CTY courses as a 5th grader. It is pretty much where I think she is curriculum wise at school, so it was not very much of a surprise.

    I actually expected the boys scores to be a bit higher, but not to this degree. Also, I wasn't expecting this results in the verbal portion.

    See, I told you I don't know how to read her results. I was just looking at the summer program requirements and they have them broken down by grade. If I look at the summer requirements for Grade 5 and that is where her scaled score falls. Anyway, it was pretty high.

    You are right, she tested too late to be eligible for the awards ceremony. They did however, add that to her MYCTY page and send the scores to her school for her permanent file.
