My 7th grader took the SAT through Duke TIP and did much better than expected. He's always a rockstar in math, but he did well enough on the reading/writing section to qualify for state recognition (>50th percentile for high school juniors/seniors who take the test). His reading subtest was slightly higher than writing.
The reading/writing SAT score really surprised me because his reading scores on our yearly state exam (STAAR) are mediocre. He tends to score around the 60th percentile, which in Texas just barely puts him in the "meets grade level" category. I think our state exams are quite challenging (~25% of students fail), but it still seems like a pretty big discrepancy. Anyone have similar experiences with school testing data showing lower performance than the SAT/ACT or other above level tests?
